Item Action 3a · Subdivision
Kelton Apartments Phase 1 final plat tabled pending TOD code change
Tabled · 3-0
Tabled the final plat for Neighborly Ventures' Kelton Apartments to Feb. 23 so the TOD code can be amended. The Planning Commission had recommended denial, not unanimously, because code requires 25% ground-floor commercial in each building while the applicant consolidated it in one area. Applicant Richard Berger said small scattered commercial spaces would not be viable and was disappointed the issue was not settled 10 months earlier; Councilmembers Taylor and Carroll favored amending the code. Staff said no other pending project would be affected.
