In January 2020, the developer submitted a revised plan that would reduce the overall office square footage in the tower and replace it with residential units. E. The proposed amendment would allow up to 415 residential units within the tower and adopt a series of residential development standards for the project. F. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing regarding this ordinance on March 30, 2020, which was adjourned to April 2, 2020. At the April 2, 2020 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the amended ordinance with added conditions to the SD-75 document requiring a project labor agreement be approved for the project, added the Logan Neighborhood to the list of neighborhoods requiring a Traffic Mitigation Plan and increased the fee for the Traffic Mitigation Plans from $200,000 to $300,000 per neighborhood, and required park fees collected from the project be spent within the district that the site is located within.
