Summary
Council member Coopin’s bills to update the RiverNorth Urban Design overlay for structured parking and building materials (BL 20 24 6 42) and the companion bill to authorize building material restrictions (BL 20 24 6 43) were amended for language clarification following property-owner conversations and approved by the committee.
Council member Coopin sponsored BL 20 24 6 42 to amend the RiverNorth Urban Design overlay district for several properties (including Cowan Street, Waterside Drive, Oldham Street, North First Street, RiverNorth Boulevard, Spring Street and Cowan Court) to update standards related to structured parking and building materials. The companion bill, BL 20 24 6 43, authorizes building material restrictions and requirements for the same area.
Coopin moved an amendment described as a cleanup to clarify language after meetings with property owners. Coopin said the amendment addressed questions and concerns raised in those meetings. The amendment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The bill as amended and its companion bill were then approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies are recorded in the transcript.
