The Catlin Court District would promote the rehabilitation and redevelop- ment of existing properties within the proposed boundaries of the district. This will help make the area a destination place for shoppers and tourists and will help encourage new businesses that will enhance the retail base of downtown Glendale. The Catlin Court District boundries are, 59th Avenue to the alley east of 57th Avenue, Palmaire Avenue to Myrtle Avenue and are shown in Figure 1. Businesses in the district would primarily include ape- cialty retail stores such as antique stores, restaurants, gift stores, etc. A percentage of office space would be included as well. ‘The plan includes information and guidelines on architectural design, street- scape, landscaping, signage, lighting, alley development, parking, loading, permitted land uses, and prohibited uses. All development in the Catlin Court District will comply with applicable City of Glendale life, safety, and fire codes. The plan will be used to guide growth in the Catlin Court District. Public improvements and development contemplated in this plan will be paid for by public funds, as illustrated in Figure 22a.
