Site plan appeal at 2315 Highland Parkway and 706 Mississippi River Blvd (the Celia)
Kurt Klusendorf appealed the zoning administrator's approval of a site plan for a four-story, 87-unit market-rate multifamily building by Pasture Properties on a 1.2-acre RM2 site in the RC4 river corridor overlay. The building is 50 feet tall at 1.78 FAR. Appellants argue the new MRCA rules, which carry a 35-ft limit, should apply. A motion to deny the appeal was withdrawn. The Commission then voted to lay the item over and requested staff information on the MRCA districts (RN vs RC4) referenced in the comp plan.
The other decisions are listed below by title. The full write-up, verbatim conditions, and the audio at each vote are in Pro.
