Developer seeks to add up to 90 apartments in North 40 PUD; neighbors raise concerns
Summary
An applicant requested an amendment to the North 40 Plaza PUD to add up to 90 dwelling units at N 84th & Adams; the developer said the project would likely produce fewer units (84–86), keep building height within the 55‑foot limit, and provide about 1.5 parking spaces per unit. Neighbors raised questions about traffic, parking and unit count.
Tim Gergen, representing the applicant, presented a PUD amendment to convert a remaining commercial parcel in the North 40 Plaza to multifamily housing with up to 90 units. Gergen said the site would likely produce 84–86 units, roughly 75% one‑bedroom units, and parking at about a 1.5 stalls‑per‑unit ratio (roughly 135 stalls if 90 units are built). He said the building would be four stories and remain under the 55‑foot height limit.
Neighbors expressed concerns about traffic, parking and the scale of the proposal; one resident asked why 90 units were requested and questioned affordability. City staff (David Carey) and the applicant said the PUD allows apartments under the B‑2 zoning and that the traffic engineers estimate fewer PM trips for apartments than equivalent commercial uses. The item remained in the public hearing record for council consideration; council did not record a final vote on the change of zone in the excerpt.
