Nick Leftwich, the city’s principal planner, told the council the Rohrs 88 North proposal is in the downtown B‑3 zoning district, complies with setbacks, landscaping and parking standards and was recommended for approval 4–1 by the Planning and Zoning Commission subject to the staff‑report conditions. Leftwich said the site plan includes a multiuse trail intended to improve downtown connectivity and that the applicant proposes about 670 parking spaces.
