St. Rose Neighborhood Update

Happy New Year!

My New Year’s resolution is to start posting again on our neighborhood website and to that end, youll see a few come through in your email today. ~ Denise Hill

Avenue 320 Apartments

We’re starting the new year with another developer’s project on Lincoln Street in our neighborhood. While the neighborhood welcomes more housing downtown, we have concerns with the size and scale of this proposed apartment bulding which at 4 stories will significantly overwhelm the one-story homes adacent to the property and nearby. Our historic district guidelines limit the height of new construciton to 2 stories or 35 feet. Unfortunately, developers can propose a higher building and, if approved by the City boards and commissions that review the project, they may get the OK to do this. There is also a concern that this project will add to the cars parked on our streets and generate increased traffic through the neighborhood (especially on Lincoln Street).

For more information on this project visit: https://srcity.org/3160/Avenue-320

If you have concerns, we encourage you to emal them to Adam Ross – the city Planner on this project: ARoss@srcity.org 

There is also an online petition you can sign. Here is the link:  https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/320-college-apt-development
