The applicant was proposing to tear down the existing buildings and redevelop the site with a two-phase development. Phase 1 (3250 66th Street West) would include a 6-7 story, 227-unit apartment building with two levels of underground parking, a club room, fitness area, and a green roof with an amenity terrace including a pool. Phase 2 (6650 Xerxes Avenue) would include a 5-6 story, 145-unit apartment building. The application was submitted after the effective date of the City's new affordable housing policy of requiring 10% of the units to be affordable in a rezoning request. However, the plans were developed prior to the adoption of the policy. The applicant was proposing 5% affordable housing units. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, but a motion to approve the Preliminary Rezoning and Preliminary Redevelopment Plan failed. The primary concern of the Planning Commission was in regard to the traffic study. Staff requested the City's consultant, Kimley-Horn, to revise the traffic study to address the concerns and update the anticipated growth numbers in the surrounding area. The revised study concluded there were no improvements needed to the existing roadway. Engineer Milliner discussed ethics and conflicts of interest in regard to Kimley-Horn completing both the traffic study and civil engineering for the site. Brandon Bourdon, Kimley-Horn, reported on the changes made to traffic study. William Reynolds, Kimley-Horn, answered questions of the Council concerning traffic.
