In a recent government meeting, developers presented a proposal for a mixed-use project that includes 255 residential units and eight live-work units, alongside a 5,000 square foot co-working space. The project, which has undergone multiple revisions, aims to create a three-story building with a rooftop amenity, while ensuring that the parking garage is not visible from public views. The developers emphasized that their design complies with all existing development standards and does not seek any amendments.

Key features of the proposal include a stepped building design along 92nd Street, which is intended to enhance the visual appeal of the area. The developers also highlighted the importance of pedestrian connectivity, with plans for several access points to adjacent properties and a new traffic signal at the intersection of 92nd Street and Cochise, which they will fund. A traffic study conducted in late 2022 indicated that the current capacity of 92nd Street is around 40%, suggesting that the additional traffic generated by the new development would not exceed this threshold.

However, the proposal has faced significant opposition from local residents. Community members expressed concerns about increased traffic congestion, potential strain on local services, and the overall impact on neighborhood character. Critics argued that the project would exacerbate existing traffic issues and lead to a higher population density, which they believe is not suitable for the area. Several residents urged the board to consider alternative developments, such as smaller single-family units or commercial spaces, rather than high-density apartments.

The meeting concluded with a call for the development review board to provide a positive recommendation to the city council, despite the vocal opposition from community members. The board's decision will play a crucial role in determining the future of this proposed development and its implications for the surrounding neighborhood.
