Board approves 287‑unit CIMD at Broken Sound with affordable and workforce units
Summary
City planners and the board approved a site‑plan amendment allowing a 7‑story, 287‑unit multifamily CIMD at 115 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway that includes 10% affordable units and 5% workforce units plus 2,000 sq. ft. of ground‑floor retail. The board voted 5–0 to approve the site‑plan amendment and an associated easement abandonment.
The Planning and Zoning Board on Jan. 2 approved a site‑plan amendment to allow construction of a 7‑story multifamily building with 287 rental units at 115 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway. The project includes 10% affordable units (29 units by staff count) and 5% workforce housing (15 units by staff count), a 2,000‑square‑foot retail space on the ground floor and associated on‑site landscaping and amenities such as a pool, cafe and co‑working space.
Staff planner Jacob Gherman told the board that the proposed development is consistent with the Light Industrial Research Park zoning and the city’s comprehensive‑plan goals for pedestrian, bicycle and transit mobility. The application also proposes abandonment and relocation of portions of a 10‑foot water easement; staff reported no negative public‑welfare impacts from that abandonment.
Applicant representative David Millage explained the site layout and amenities and noted the applicant would work with staff on a site‑plan condition that currently would require an amendment if the residential phase were built before the retained office components; staff and applicant said they would resolve the condition language for council. The board closed the public hearing with no speakers and approved the site plan by roll call 5–0.
The applicant will finalize conditions with staff prior to city council consideration and permitting.
