Item Work · Development
Woodside Park Phase 2: senior center and mixed development
Discussed
The original Phase 2 approval was appealed and overturned; the city and the seniors then negotiated a new senior center under a memorandum of understanding. $3.5 million is budgeted for the senior center, a community development block grant application is planned, the county has not committed funds and the seniors requested $750,000 in capital support. An affordable master plan yields the most density but caps the center at 10,000 square feet unless the Planning Commission grants an exception. Consensus, with no formal vote: issue an RFP, add a first-responder preference and include the Empire Avenue lot.
