Resident praises commission for rejecting proposed office-to-emergency-housing conversion at 30 Seventh
Summary
A Richmond resident thanked the Planning Commission during public comment for turning down a proposal to convert an office building at 30 Seventh into emergency housing, saying the neighborhood and local businesses supported the decision.
During the meeting’s public comment period, Cordell Hiller, a Richmond resident, thanked the Planning Commission for previously denying a proposal to convert the office building at 30 Seventh into emergency housing.
Hiller said the neighborhood council and local businesses supported the commission’s prior decision and called the proposed conversion an “eyesore” that would bring problems to the area. He added that while he supports affordable housing generally, he did not support placing that proposal in his neighborhood.
His remarks were recorded during the public-comment segment and no formal agenda action was taken at this meeting on that project.
