- Public Neighborhood Meeting Wednesday 7/6/2022, 6 pm. Pre-application opportunity for neighbors to hear about a proposed residential development at 2101 Holliday, near Purcell. Proposal is for one 3-story building containing 30 unit “micro-unit” residences. Two drive-aisles will be included in the lot. A variance is sought for parking. For properties 1/4 mile from Transit service parking requirements are .5 spaces per unit. This project is 1/4 mile + 6 feet, and proposes to have 23 spaces for 30 units, which is 70% of parking that would be required for projects more than 1/4 mile from Transit.
