Recommendation

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION South Central Waterfront Advisory Board Recommendation Number: (20240916-002): Recommending the 200 East Riverside Drive Planned Unit Development (PUD) Application The South Central Waterfront Advisory Board (SCWAB) held a public meeting on September 16, 2024, to consider a Planned Unit Development (PUD) proposal for 200 East Riverside Drive. The SCWAB recommends that the City Council approve this PUD, pending detailed conditions of approval included in the staff report. The rationale, recommendation and conditions of approval are contained in the below. Based on the conditions agreed to by the applicant and staff, the SCWAB found that the PUD was superior to traditional zoning, would be protective of the waterfront environment, would provide economic benefits to the city, and would create good walkability and use of alternative transportation, including access to the planned light rail station on the property. There was discussion of a fire/EMS station on the property, or nearby but funded by the PUD, and variability of land uses from residence to hotel to office – all permitted uses – but to be determined by market forces closer to construction. Date of Approval: September 16, 2024 Record of the vote: 5 yes / 0 Nays Attest: Dave Sullivan, Acting Chair
