What: a mixed-use planned development at 363 Reese St, 600-660 W Broad and 0 Finley.
Where it stands: the Planning Commission recommended the rezone 5-4 (the chair broke a 4-4 tie) and the land use change 5-3 on 2026-10-01. A hearing is on the 2026-11-04 Mayor and Commission agenda; no outcome is recorded yet.
After a long hearing with speakers on both sides, a substitute motion held both the future land use change and the rezoning for up to 40 days so staff can review the applicant's newly presented parking and alternative plans. The vote was 6-2. The county attorney noted at adjournment that a code section may send the item back to the Planning Commission if the plans change.
Historic Preservation Commission approved the 363 Reese Street demolition and site modifications with conditions: documentation of the historic core and staff approval of railing details.
Commission discussed the 600 and 660 West Broad Street proposal (181 apartments) and the Reese Street commemorative park; Planning Commission recommended approval with ten conditions. Commissioners raised parking (about 211 spaces for 425 bedrooms), density and premature rezoning; the applicant sought revisions to conditions 1, 2 and 5.
