Workshop Description: Special events and promotional activities are a
great way to bring pedestrian traffic to your community, but before you

questions to ask to make the best use of time, money, resources, and
your sanity. In this workshop, learn how Livermore Downtown, Inc., a
veteran California Main Street Community, uses events and promotional
activities to capitalize on the town?s assets and offer ways for locals
and visitors to connect. In this workshop, participants will:
Hear about Downtown Livermore?s successful events and marketing
strategies, including the first on-line Downtown Collective Gift Card
Program in the country.
How to leverage events and promotion activities to generate increased
foot-traffic and sales.
Learn how to build successful partnerships & keep sponsors engaged.
how to fund events and activities.
Learn when to retire or re-invent existing events or develop new ones.

There are several hotel options. One option is the Holiday Inn Express,
375 W Havard Blvd. Reservations: 541.673.7517. Room rates for workshop
attendees are $105/night king or double queen - ask for the Main Street
rate.
Speaker Bio: Rachael Snedecor has served as the Executive Director of
Livermore Downtown Inc. for the past thirteen years. Under her
management, Livermore Downtown Inc. has successfully produced and
facilitated downtown events that attract over a million consumers to the
district each year, completed a Downtown Specific Plan, and implemented
a $13 million streetscape project. In 2009, Livermore Downtown Inc.,
received designation as a Great American Main Street from the National
Trust Main Street Center. Rachael is a current Board Member and past
President of the California Main Street Alliance. Prior to downtown,
Rachael was the event manager and marketing coordinator for Ivan Tamas
and Steven Kent Wineries, a sales and marketing rep for Farmer Bros.

Hello,

At some point I recall hearing someone within our network mention I believe it
was a city ordinance that could be established to ward off Walmart.  If any of
you recall what that is or where we could find it please let me know.  The
citizens of Sherwood found out last week that Walmart is planning on closing a
deal here in Sherwood next month.

We have many, many people working to fight this before it's too late and would
love whatever strategies any of you may know of to help us do so.

Thank you,

Angi,

Arcata, CA. has an ordinance (at least they did when I lived there) in place that does not allow the establishment of ?big box? stores such as walmart.  Astoria may have a similar ordinance in place.

Best of luck as you all try to ward off the beast!

Astoria does not have an ordinance in place, we just don't have enough 
available flat land to make us an attractive location for any big box 
retailer. They are locating across the bay in Warrenton instead, where 
the land and the population are more welcoming to big box retail. Still 
poses an issue for us, though.

Angie,

 

Stayton's Land Use and Development Code contains the following language:


 

17.20.200             COMMERCIAL DESIGN STANDARDS

1.      PURPOSE. The purpose of the commercial standards to ensure that
the public health, safety and general welfare are protected and the
general interest of the public is served. The standards provide for
originality, flexibility, and innovation in site planning and
development including architecture, landscaping, parking design and
enhancement of the special characteristics that make Stayton a unique
place to live.  The standards of this section apply to all types of
non-residential development and to any building with a mix of
non-residential and residential uses, except in the Downtown zones,
where the standards of Section 17.20.220 apply. (Ord. 898, August 20,
2007) (Amended Ord. 902, May 7, 2008)

2.      SIZE RESTRICTIONS.

a.       All retail stores are limited to 45,000 square feet of gross
floor area. (Amended Ord. 949, April 17, 2013)

b.      Malls are limited to 100,000 square feet of gross floor area
with no retail store exceeding 30,000 square feet. (Amended Ord. 949,
April 17, 2013)

c.       A mall that is larger than 30,000 square feet gross floor area
shall not be located on a lot that is contiguous with or directly across
a street from an existing mall that is larger than 30,000 square feet
gross floor area.

 

Prior to the April 17 amendments, the individual store size was 30,000
sq ft and the malls were limited to 80,000 sq ft.

 

These restrictions were enacted about 10 years ago.

Angi,

 

Arcata, CA. has an ordinance (at least they did when I lived there) in
place that does not allow the establishment of "big box" stores such as
walmart.  Astoria may have a similar ordinance in place.  

 

Best of luck as you all try to ward off the beast!

 

Cheers,

Hello, 

  

At some point I recall hearing someone within our network mention I
believe it was a city ordinance that could be established to ward off
Walmart.  If any of you recall what that is or where we could find it
please let me know.  The citizens of Sherwood found out last week that
Walmart is planning on closing a deal here in Sherwood next month. 

  

We have many, many people working to fight this before it's too late and
would love whatever strategies any of you may know of to help us do so. 

  

Thank you,

FYI - please consider helping out Coos Bay!

 
Hello:

Benjamin Moore is sponsoring an opportunity of a lifetime for Downtown Coos Bay.  They will provide paint and painting services to 20 communities across the nation.  However, Coos Bay must vote online en masse in order to be selected.  The campaign asks consumers around the country to cast their vote online for which 20 Main Streets
should be revitalized of the more than 100 North American cities nominated at
www.paintwhatmatters.com.
Voting began at 12:00 a.m. EST on May 16, 2013 and will end at 11:59 p.m. EST on June 30, 2013. Benjamin Moore will post the final list of Main Streets and towns to be repainted on
www.paintwhatmatters.com in July.
Attached is their press release for more details.

During this project, Benjamin Moore will increase their use of local television, radio, and print marketing across the nation.  Hope this spurs your business as well as provide a face-lift for downtown Coos Bay.

See you downtown!
