Commission approves planned‑development to build senior housing at 1333 N. 6th
Summary
A developer presented a senior housing plan under a planned development allowing higher density and relaxed setbacks; the commission approved the PD after public testimony on parking and density.
The commission approved a planned‑development district at 1333 North 6th Street that would enable a senior housing project with a maximum density and alternative development standards tailored to the site.
Applicant Jason Lane said the design focuses on one‑ and two‑bedroom units for seniors and that the project is pursuing tax credits; he told commissioners the development style typically requires less parking and that staff and the applicant had engaged council earlier about the concept. Neighbors and nearby medical practitioners raised concerns about the proposed 44 units per acre and the reduced parking ratio; Dr. Richard Reinmund, who operates a neurology practice nearby, urged the commission to deny the request over parking and traffic concerns. Commissioners weighed downtown housing needs and parking concerns before voting to recommend approval to council.
