Read the motion as recorded

“Councilwoman Mayfield moved to deny the conditional zoning request for the project known as Create Broadway from Central Business District (CBD) to Central Business Expansion District (CBD EXP CZ) for the construction of a new mixed-use building and find that the denial is reasonable, is in the public interest, and is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan in that: 1) the project is primarily lodging in use, and as such, does not meet the comprehensive plan goal of a diverse and sustainable mix of uses in the downtown as it would contribute to a growing concentration of lodging uses and loss of opportunity for other new uses; and 2) the proposed access to/from the development is not sufficient.”
