Additional Property Attributes

The park is a long, narrow
property that exceeds 1,700 linear feet in length and
averaging 85 feet in depth. The property has several
large lawn areas, basketball courts, a skatepark,
restroom facilities, two covered play structures,
and a climbing wall - metal fencing surrounds the
property, and a tall masonry wall spans the eastern
boundary along the interstate highway. The park was
created from remnant property from the interstate
construction - multiple tax lots and abandoned
right-of-way form the park property. Today, the
park is closed to public use/access due to prolonged
homeless encampments and criminal activity. There
is a local priority to return the park for public use and
enjoyment.

In a
partnership between the Historic Westside Community
and the City of Las Vegas, the community created
"The Hundred Plan for the Historic Westside
Community" to define a vision and revitalization
plan for the neighborhood. The plan includes
several strategic catalyst projects and neighborhood
improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing livability
and economic opportunity for residents (and future
populations). The Plan identifies "Reclaim James
Gay Park" as one of 8 Big Moves to bring vitality
and resilience to the neighborhood. This community
planning initiative also includes the "Hundred Plan
in Action" as a supplemental document aimed on
project implementation and defining an action plan to
guide near- and long-term improvements - the action
plan provided more clarity in terms of future site
programming at James Gay Park. This reuse planning
project for James Gay Park represents a strategic
implementation project to these past revitalization
efforts for the Historic Westside Community.
The final reuse plan for James Gay Park aims to
enhance recreational and open space amenities
for the community while adding food security, job
training, and commercial services to the property
which are aimed to improve neighborhood conditions.
Additionally, the final reuse plan builds upon the
long-range neighborhood planning ideas from the
HUNDRED Plan and the Plan in Action policy documents. Finally, the reuse plan balances the
feedback from the Steering Committee, the ideas from
past policy documents, site constraints, and strategic
initiatives from various City departments. Figure
4.1.1 depicts the reuse plan for James Gay Park and
this section summarizes the various site components.
The City can use this document to guide final design,
project financing, and implementation.
Vertical Farming Mixed-Use Building - The reuse
plan includes a new ~70,000-sf, 3-level building on
the northern portions of the property for indoor
farming activities with job training programs. The
building will include administrative offices, work
areas, and may include residential dorms/small
apartments to house facility workers. A loading
dock and shared parking lot are planned on the
south side of the building; landscaping and building
placement will buffer these features from the larger
neighborhood.
Farming Containers - The plan includes five 8-ft
X 40-ft modular farming containers on concrete
pads just south of the planned co-op market. Each
container will support indoor crop growth including
irrigation, lighting, and climate control mechanisms.
The crop harvests are envisioned to supplement the
vertical farming operation (in the larger mixed-use
building) and provide produce for the co-op. The
container cluster includes new buildings for water
supply and back-up power service.
Co-Operative Food Market (Co-Op) - A new
~7,500-sf, single-story co-op market is planned just
north of the Jackson Avenue intersection to create a
small commercial/activity node for the neighborhood.
The market is envisioned to provide fresh food for
the community with produce originating from the
vertical farming operations. The corner main entrance
is oriented to B Street and the shared parking lot to
the no
