Council approves Liberty Lane rezoning for 240-unit multifamily project after parking and traffic-calming changes
Summary
BL 20 25 8 88 (and companion BL 20 25 8 89) passed after a sponsor amendment increased the parking ratio slightly and committed to adding traffic-calming measures to align with neighborhood requests; the project permits 240 multifamily units on roughly 4.293 acres.
The Metropolitan Council approved BL 20 25 8 88 on July 14, rezoning approximately 4.293 acres at Liberty Lane to a specific plan allowing 240 multifamily residential units. The companion bill, BL 20 25 8 89, authorizing building-material restrictions and requirements, was also approved.
Councilmember Webb introduced a sponsor amendment reflecting community meetings in which neighbors requested more parking. Webb said the project’s parking ratio would be increased from approximately 1.2 vehicles per unit to 1.3 vehicles per unit, and the developer agreed to add traffic-calming measures up to a specified dollar limit to address neighborhood concerns. The chair noted the amendment reflected community feedback; the amendment passed by voice vote and the bill as amended was approved by voice vote.
The transcript does not record a roll-call tally, developer remarks, or specific dollar amounts for traffic-calming measures beyond the chair’s description that they will be added “up to a certain dollar amount” to coincide with neighborhood requests. No explicit school-capacity mitigation or municipal funding commitments were recorded on this item.
