The Metro Council approved a request to rezone a 1.5-acre property at 1600 Division Street from RM20 (Multi-Family Residential) to SP (Specific Plan) zoning. The SP zoning allows for the construction of a 17-story mixed-use building featuring 300 multifamily residential units and approximately 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The development will include structured parking and various resident amenities. This project represents a significant increase in density and introduces a mixed-use component to the area, aligning with the city's vision for walkable urban development. The council discussion focused on traffic impacts and affordable housing contributions, with the developer agreeing to a payment in lieu of on-site affordable units. The vote was 35-2 in favor of approval.
