Council hears Uptown mixed-use project: 63 units, 110 parking spaces in proposed former library lot development
Summary
Staff presented a proposed four‑story mixed-use building for the former library lot with 63 residential units, one level of commercial and 110 parking spaces; the Uptown design committee and Planning & Zoning recommended approval 5–0, and councilors praised developer responsiveness while asking for samples of final materials.
Planning staff presented a proposal for a four‑story mixed-use building on the former library lot that would contain 63 residential units across three stories above a commercial ground floor and provide 110 total parking spaces (63 under-building and 47 surface). Staff said the project meets Uptown 2 zoning and central corridor form requirements and that the Uptown design committee and Planning & Zoning recommended approval by a 5–0 vote.
Council members praised the developer’s responsiveness to prior comments and asked for material samples and additional detail for the underbuilding parking wall (which staff said would be textured to resemble stacked stone and include landscaping and trellises along 10th Street). One councilor said the project is “significant” for Uptown and emphasized the importance of execution that aligns with the city’s design vision. The council did not take final action at the work session; staff said the project will return for formal approvals that follow the design review and permitting process.
