The building will have around 300 beds and over 8,000 square feet of new retail space, along with a range of amenities for the residents and patrons. It's the first development project to utilize the City's Smart Code, which emphasizes mixed uses, integration with multi-modal transportation, and a more traditional neighborhood design. With the bus stop, trail system, and evolving 23rd Street Corridor, we think this alternate code makes for a nice fit on this property. We think this project will make a meaningful contribution to having a physically active demographic along this corridor - and would certainly appreciate your support.</span></em><br><br>This is the first time that the City has used its SMART code for a development project.<strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> We will meet with Patrick at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 27, in Meeting Room A of the Public Library.</span></strong> I hope you will be able to attend!<br>Best,<br>Gary Webber<br>LAN Secretary<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
