Maybe retail storefront could run up Charles up-to the elevated parking lot, taking over that lower-level secondary lot behind St. Matthews. It might take a bit of engineering work to change the elevated parking lot gradient, in order to extend storefront all the way to the corner of Benton. Church-goers could use the underground or podium parking (designated spots?) instead.
I'm a little bit confused here, which parking lots are these? The higher-elevated parking lot at Charles/Benton is part of the church property. The lower-elevated parking lot at Charles/Queen (not behind St Matthew's) is a city property.
Are you proposing that the church subdivide their property and sell the parking lot to a developer who has assembled all the other properties? I think that makes the project more challenging yet.
