DDRC approves Core Spaces mixed-use tower with conditions; commissioners press garage design changes
Summary
The DDRC granted a certificate of design approval for a proposed mixed-use development on Main Street with conditions requiring increased landscaping, public-accessible open space, coordination on murals and programming for garage-facing light boxes, and further staff review of the garage facade materials.
The Design and Development Review Commission voted to grant a certificate of design approval for a proposed mixed-use development that would fill a downtown surface parking lot bounded by Main, Hampton, Assembly and Washington streets.
Staff described the proposal as a roughly 725-unit mixed-use project featuring a 26-story market-rate tower (just over 290 feet at its highest point), a 22-story student-dormitory mass (about 240 feet), and an attached multi-level parking structure. Staff recommended approval with conditions and called attention to several outstanding design issues related to the parking structure's visibility, landscaping and upper-story window articulation. Staff also noted that some garage design updates were submitted after the packet and may not be fully reflected in the materials presented.
