Committee recommends due pass for Chapter 99 redevelopment plan for 8111 N. Broadway in Baynton
Summary
Alderman Tyus obtained a due‑pass recommendation for board bill 1‑19, a Chapter 99 redevelopment plan for 8111 North Broadway in the Baynton neighborhood; sponsor and SLDC said the owner has invested personal funds and the package aims to support local entrepreneurship and event space redevelopment.
The committee recommended a due‑pass for board bill 1‑19, a Chapter 99 redevelopment plan for a property at 8111 North Broadway in the Baynton neighborhood. Alderman Tyus presented the bill remotely and described the site as part of a small cluster of event spaces and entrepreneur‑owned properties on the 8100 block of North Broadway.
Tyus said the owner (identified in the presentation as Diana Broadway) purchased the property for a nominal amount, invested sweat equity (she and her spouse invested approximately $75,000, according to testimony) and has begun rehabilitation. SLDC staff Zachary Wilson said the site was previously an LRA building and that SLDC supports the redevelopment plan. Tyus told the committee she had been convinced of the project’s merit after visiting and that the project could boost entrepreneurship and local activity in that business strip.
Vice chair Sonnier moved and Alderman Browning seconded a due‑pass recommendation; the clerk recorded five aye votes. The committee asked staff to update exhibits where applicable to reflect the city’s most recent sustainability plan before second reading.
Next steps: the bill will proceed to the full Board of Aldermen for consideration, with possible floor amendments to update exhibits to current city plans.
