Commission recommends disapproval of Bridal Road rezoning; owner asks for time
Summary
Staff recommended disapproval of a council-sponsored request to downzone two Bridal Road parcels previously approved for SP mixed-use; the property owner asked for more time, but the commission adopted staff's recommendation to disapprove.
Planning staff recommended disapproval of a request to rezone two parcels (532 and 538 Bridal Road, ~5.25 acres) from Special Purpose (SP) back to AR2a, saying the downzone would be inconsistent with T3 corridor policy and the existing SP entitlements for mixed-use development (previous SP allowed 40 multifamily units and 38,000 square feet of retail/office). Planner Risa Bridal presented the staff analysis and recommended disapproval.
Property owner Ariane Gouda identified herself and asked for additional time to finish her project, saying she began primary work after the SP approval but paused final plat work because of financial difficulties. Commissioners said the surrounding area is primarily commercial and dense, agreed with staff’s policy analysis and approved the recommendation to disapprove; the action will be transmitted to Metro Council where the councilwoman-applicant may still pursue the measure.
