Appeal of Planning Commission denial of Lake City Flats micro-apartments, 95 N. Barratt Ave.
Denied · 4-0
Applicants Chad Pollard and Diego Carroll appealed the Planning Commission's denial of a five-story, 109-unit studio/micro-apartment building on 1.35 acres in the CC-1 zone with one parking stall per unit, versus the code's 2.25. They cited an ITE-based estimate of 69-95 stalls needed, peer-reviewed for traffic by Hales Engineering, and other cities' one-stall rules, said they felt 'strung along,' and mentioned possible legal action; they offered 1.25 stalls but not 2. Public Works said the Hales review did not endorse the parking. Councilmembers Taylor and Hunter supported the project; Shelton worried about precedent because CC-1 density is limited only by parking. The council denied the appeal so the parking standard could be taken up at a Sept. 7 joint work session.
