Board approves 67‑unit mixed‑use development on Martin Luther King Drive
Summary
The board approved dimensional variances and special uses for a 67‑unit mixed‑use project at 3116 N. Martin Luther King Drive, which the developer says will include a grocery, childcare center, mixed‑income apartments and resident wealth creation programming backed by city and state support.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved dimensional variances and special uses for a 67‑unit mixed‑use development at 3116 North Martin Luther King Drive. Developer Anthony Kasey told the board the project will include a grocery, a childcare center, and an intergenerational, mixed‑income housing model targeting roughly 30%–80% area median income units.
Kasey said the $20,000,000 project includes a resident wealth‑creation program (roughly $2,000 per unit, matched by an equity investor) and plans for telehealth access for residents. DCD staff noted this site had prior approvals in December 2023 that expired and recommended approval of the current variances and special uses; technical review and staff recommendation supported granting the requests to run with the land.
Board members praised the design and inclusion of family‑sized units and voted to approve the variances and special uses with the standard conditions and to allow the approvals to run with the land.
