Discussion on RFP and issues for Union Place redevelopment. Martzial noted that the City has a purchase and sale agreement in place for 251- i253 Union Street, the Newman property. The request for proposal (RFP) for redevelopment of the area should go out within the next month or so. , Mar�ial discussed a couple of issues in regard to issuing the RFP. He said stafF is recommending that redevelopment be limited to medium density residential , uses (no commercial uses) rezoning a portion from M&SD to URD-2. One of the issues is as the result of the Rite-Aid process, a lot of neighbors were not happy about increased commercial use. He said that we could fit about 12 parcels into ' the properry. Weber said that the issue is strictly whether the Committee wants to restrict the � area to medium density residential (URD-2) or open it up to higher density residential and commercial (multi family and service district). Weber said it would be better for a potential developer if the whole property was available with # the same zoning. Weber said that the comprehensive plan calls for this whole area to be URD-2. � � � � Farrington wanted to know if Dave's Video was less commercial than Rite-Aid Pharmacy. Weber said Dave's Video and that whole block is M&SD. The City � property is the area that we want to switch from M&SD to URD-2. The Committee supported staff's recommendation to change the zoning, and � move forward with the RFP process. The meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m. � . � r f � � � i 1 � i � � 1 i
