What: SPUD-1866, a rezoning of two large lots on Northwest 11th Street beside McKinley Park (a few blocks from the Plaza District) from R2 and R4 to a planned unit development for an 18-unit apartment building with 21 parking spaces.
Where it stands: continued on 2026-10-08 to the Planning Commission meeting of 2026-11-12 so the applicant can rework the design.
Main sticking points: three stories, density (a commissioner estimated about 56 units per acre), and a parking lot on the street corner.

Eighteen units (17 one-bedroom units and one two-bedroom unit, about 20 bedrooms) in a three-story building, with a landscaped parking lot facing the corner and McKinley Park and building murals facing the park.
The applicant wanted the building toward the street edge and parking on the corner, arguing the existing corner is already a parking lot, the wide right-of-way leaves a big green setback, and rear-facing front doors keep entries off the street. Two neighbors wrote letters in support; no one spoke.
Technical evaluations discussed: an 18-unit maximum, a curb along McKinley with one curb cut kept for the dumpster, a 20-foot versus 10-foot setback, and dumpster placement.

The ward commissioner (Commissioner Milner) was fine with the unit count because of the park, but not sure about the orientation. Several commissioners questioned a parking lot on a residential corner and wanted parking behind the building.
Most commissioners said they could support a two-story version; reducing height would also reduce the unit and parking count, which would help meet the drainage ordinance. One commissioner would accept a short masonry screen wall and landscaping if parking stayed on the corner. {P} preferred two stories and a landscaped corner.
Commissioners also asked about angled or parallel on-street parking along the park.

Motion to continue to the November 12 hearing by Commissioner Milner, seconded by Commissioner Meek.
Expect a redesign (two stories, parking location, density closer to the comprehensive plan).

About 20 minutes across 1 meeting (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
