In a recent government meeting, the council discussed a proposal for a new residential building under the infill overlay zoning, aimed at revitalizing underutilized properties in the community. The project, which includes a triplex, is designed to enhance housing opportunities while aligning with the area's general plan designation.
The proposal was presented by Taylor Butterfield, the owner and builder, who emphasized his commitment to maintaining high-quality properties. He expressed eagerness to commence construction upon approval. The council reviewed the architectural plans, noting that the design features a contemporary style that may stand out in the neighborhood. Concerns were raised about the visual impact of the building, but overall, the project was deemed consistent with the community's development goals.
The Design Review Committee (DRC) and the Planning Commission both recommended approval of the project, which meets the standards set for infill overlay developments. During the public hearing, council members discussed the parking requirements, confirming that the area mandates 2.5 parking spaces per unit.
Ultimately, the council voted unanimously in favor of the Butterfield zone change, recognizing its potential to contribute positively to the community's housing landscape. The approval marks a significant step towards enhancing residential options in the area, with construction anticipated to begin shortly.
