Read the motion as recorded
“Councilwoman Turner moved to approve the conditional zoning amendment request for the property located at 175 Lyman St from Mixed-Use Expansion - Conditional Zone (MXD EXP - CZ) to Commercial Expansion - Conditional Zone (COM EXP - CZ) and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest, is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and meets the development needs of the community in that the request: 1) provides infill development in targeted growth areas; 2) increases the supply of housing, including affordable housing in proximity to schools, transit and parks; 3) supports opportunities for the creative sector to affordably live, work, and share their work; and, 4) implements low-impact development and green infrastructure strategies.”
