Properties to rezone from B-4 District (community
commercial) to B-3 District (auto -oriented commercial)
property located at 5407 and 5413 Florida Ave. N. The City

through part of Target's parking lot and has asked for a
continuance until next month when he will provide a site
specific plan.
Moved by Commissioner Magnuson and seconded by Commissioner

housing at property located between 29th & 32nd Ave. N. and
between Douglas Drive and Brunswick Ave. N. City Engineer
explained that Norman Nafstad could submit a new proposal
sooner than 6 months as zoning was the primary reason and
the new plan reduced density. The proponents presented the
following: Alan Brixius of Northwest Associated
Consultants, Inc. stated their financing agency recommended
no fewer units than 280 (286 proposed), reduced length of
buildings reduces visual impact, fewer units will reduce
traffic, also proposed vacation of Brunswick Avenue with
cul-de-sac will force traffic onto Douglas and plan
proposes 90 units for elderly housing. Architect Dick
Carlson pointed out greater distance from existing
residential, screening complied with major concerns, three-
story with garages below, gabled roofs and earth berm
reduces height of buildings. Engineer Greg Frank showed
map giving bad soil conditions and explained developing
costs per unit.
