In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the progress of a significant development project stemming from the Clinton Street Neighborhood Business District Plan, which was approved by the city council last year. The project aims to revitalize the Clinton Street corridor by introducing economic development opportunities and additional housing.
The proposed development includes two five-story structures located along Clinton, Jarvis, and Hudson Streets, connected by a courtyard area. The ground floor of the buildings will be dedicated to commercial uses, such as retail and food service, while the upper floors will feature one, two, and three-bedroom apartment units. Key amenities designed to enhance residents' living experience include an outdoor playground, an indoor fitness center, a community room, and bicycle storage. The project will also incorporate electric vehicle charging stations and green spaces, with over 300 parking spaces allocated behind the structures.
Since the last meeting in May, the development team has made several updates in response to feedback. These include a detailed site plan outlining the project's two phases and a lighting plan for the parking lot on Slauson Street. Additionally, a letter from the State Historic Preservation Office confirmed that the project would not impact historic or archaeological resources. The team also provided documentation supporting their application for a special use permit.
The project remains on track, and officials expressed readiness to address any further questions from the community or stakeholders.
