Those in opposition testified with concerns over increased density, reduced street and above lot parking, increased package deliveries, increased traffic; no formal full traffic impact analysis being done; timeliness of information received; RM6 zoning being inappropriate for the area; wanting more time for review and community input; wanting lesser density, a smaller development, lower RM zoning in the new development, increased home ownership via a development instead of new market rate rental housing; that the church did not entertain a second mortgage to fund their church rebuild; that the new apartment development was not a necessity; that several homes within the block would be directly impacted, have their views obstructed, and potentially see their homes devalued; and that a lawsuit was filed representing several neighbors and expressing their concerns.
Vice-chair Nemec moved to hold the file to the next meeting without a public hearing for there to be a full traffic impact analysis study be done by the developer. Member Moody seconded. (Failed 1-6) Aye - Nemec
Member Washington moved conditional approval, seconded by member Crane, with the recommendation conditioned upon the applicant conducting a traffic and safety impact analysis and submitting the results to DCD and DPW prior to this item being heard by the Zoning, Neighborhoods, and Development Committee. City staff shall identify an appropriate scope for this analysis and share with the applicant. The results of the analysis should also be shared with neighbors via mailing to residents within 250 feet of the proposed development prior to the hearing at ZND. (Prevailed 7-0)
