Committee tables Ann Street one-way idea amid developer infill concerns
Summary
An infill developer planning to build a new road through the Ann Street block prompted the committee to defer action on a potential one-way conversion until Planning Commission clarifies the developer's design and open-space/playground requirements.
Committee members discussed agenda item 975, an Ann Street traffic and parking referral related to a developer’s infill project. The Chair said the Planning Commission had the item on its agenda that night because a developer planned to build a new road through the middle of the block, adding homes and changing traffic patterns. "They would actually build a new road through the middle of that block," the Chair said.
Members agreed the developer proposal could materially change the merits of an Ann Street one-way conversion and that Planning Commission decisions about playground and open-space requirements could affect whether a one-way conversion is necessary or desirable. The committee opted to table further action pending more information from planning staff and the developer, and it signaled it would revisit the item after the Planning Commission and staff provide details.
