Council conditions approval of alley vacation for proposed 7‑story project
Summary
The council granted a petition to vacate part of an alley to allow a seven‑story residential project with about 101 market-rate units, conditioned on public benefits including sidewalk widenings, ecological restoration and public‑realm enhancements.
The council considered a petition (Clerk file 314530) to vacate a portion of an alley where the petitioner proposes a seven-story residential project with roughly 101 market-rate units over two parking levels. The committee report described the benefits the developer proposed in exchange for the vacation: widened sidewalks, a six-foot planter, ecological restoration on an adjacent conservation site, decorative fence panels and public-realm enhancements.
Council members discussed the public benefits, accessibility improvements and the site's conversion from a vacant lot to active use. The clerk filed the petition as conditioned and the council approved the filing by unanimous vote. Council members noted the project will add public realm improvements and that the petition passed after committee consideration and public comment.
