Read the motion as recorded
“Vice-Mayor Wisler moved to approve the conditional zoning request for Verde Vista Phase 2 from Commercial Industrial (CI) to Residential Expansion District Conditional Zone (RES EXP CZ) for the construction of a new building and site upgrades with an amendment to the B.1 conditions to include 10% (6 units) affordable for 20 years; and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest and aligns with the city’s comprehensive plan in the following ways: (1) this is an expansion of an existing residential development; (2) the Future Land Use category is appropriate and supportive of this higher density residential use; (3) the project provides pedestrian connections along Bleachery Boulevard and an upgraded transit stop; and, (4) the proposal is aligned with strategies found in the city’s comprehensive plan regarding activating the pedestrian experience, siting uses along corridors that are supported by transit and locating residential density proximate to other commercial uses, contributing to a mixed-use corridor.”
