  1. Can we assume that SE 13th and Ankeny will be the first project to meet the Inclusionary Housing requirements? Being that Imago Dei church owns the property, it may have been planned that way all along.

  2. In the midst of all the new housing going up on close-in Morrison and Belmont they are putting up a six-story self-storage building? ??

  3. Den,
    I was shocked by this, too! They cancel a project on Ankeny/11th because it is not attractive enough; yet allow a storage building in the heart of developing neighborhood! All this space that will house no one, create no jobs, provide little income for the City, create no interest at the street level, and guarantee a steady flow of trips in cars/trucks/vans. This building seems to countermand every goal the City has! Why here? Why now? How is this allowed?

    • That project is on a site zoned industrial, with no design review. As long as the development complied with the zoning code, the Bureau of Development Services staffers who reviewed it wouldn’t have had any discretion over whether to approve it or not.

      • Your reply made me check out the zoning map. I can’t believe the south side of Belmont isn’t EX with a design overlay! And now I also understand why nothing happened on the south side of Belmont or on Hawthorne west of 12th during this development boom.

        Even if the rest remains industrial sanctuary as some say is needed, the Hawthorne and Belmont street corridors are too visible and valuable to the city to remain IG1 zoning.
