Iris Place rezoned and development plan approved for 144 units; parking and open‑space modifications granted
Summary
The board approved rezoning and a development plan for Iris Place (Franklin Housing Authority) at 500 Westmead Boulevard, authorizing 144 units across five buildings and granting two modification requests on parking and open space.
Planning staff described ordinance 2026‑16 and resolution 2026‑50 for Iris Place, which proposes demolition of existing structures and construction of five new multifamily buildings (2–3 stories) totaling 144 units on 7.68 acres. Staff said the applications included MOS requests nearly identical to those granted for Denson Place — reduced parking minimums and an adjustment to natural‑area requirements paired with a 15% total open‑space commitment — and recommended approval with conditions based on the applicant's parking memo and precedent.
The board moved, seconded and approved the rezoning and the development plan. The motions and MOS approvals were recorded as unanimous; the planning commission had also recommended approval. The vote clears the project to proceed to plan and permit review consistent with the approved PD and MOS conditions.
