Another rezoning in the pipeline… west side of 100 block of Glenwood between Willard and Jones. → 40 floors (only 12 floors at the far west notch)

That’s ballsy. I don’t see this getting more than 20, but go for it!

It would be interesting if they could get the parcels on Jones and Willard directly adjacent to the parcels they already have. That would give them control of at least 1/3 of the block.

Surface lots and 1-2 story houses currently used as office/retail. BRING IT ON.

Are any of those “Houses” to the west of the parcels operating as SFHs though? I kind of see everything to the East of Boylan eventually being mid to high rises.

I think you’re right and you make a good point. Couple the lack of resi near here, the Creamery rezoning a few blocks down and Block 83, this really isn’t that far fetched. I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of those DX-40 (*up to 30) kinds of things. I’m all for DX-40, I just still feel like this is on the fringe.
Lots of businesses (property in question is effectively the ROOM 5280 Escape Games property).

1 block [as the crow flies] from 400H as well.

Wayyy down the road, I’m thinking everything East of St Marys will be structures - whether it be Townhomes, mid-rise condos / apartments etc.
I’d be curious to actually run the numbers to see what’s functioning (if anything) as a pure SFH within this area.

There is an NCOD there. The concerned neighbors in Cameron Park got to that lands zoning already. Whomp. Whomp.
I guess townhomes are doable with current zoning everywhere there. Should at least allow 5 story apartments imo.
If the community is going to defend townhouses as appropriate for TOD in the BRT corridor on the east side of downtown, then townhouses should be fine in this transition zone as well. 
That said, I don’t have anything against more density in this area at all. In fact, I welcome it, and this area already has large multi-family projects that extend to/near St. Mary’s St.
In the end, the greater Glenwood South/Warehouse district (west side) is going to be the densest, most mixed use, and most walkable part of the city. In fact, it may already be all of the above since SH opened.

One has to wonder how many of these 40 story rezonings will actually end up anywhere near that floor count when redeveloped.
A lot of these rezonings feel like exercises in increasing the land value for the current owners.

Agreed. I’m just looking at it as future proofing the ability to build taller buildings if we get another Council of No.

There are so many rezonings that have happened that I can’t imagine a future council of no having any real zoning impact on development for a decade or more. That said, a future council of no could throw cold molasses into the system in other ways to slow things down.

Did anybody attend? Looking more at the rezoning application, its prepared by Tuscany Construction?? mostly home and small-scale commercial builder??
I think the at-grade train tracks that must be crossed to move between these two districts will become an increasing safety concern, and the 4-way crossing gate discussion will return.
And then there’s the side benefit of no more horns at these crossings.

The long term plan is for all the at grade crossings to be closed besides West and Harrington. But the city wants to buy the line that crosses west and Harrington so hopefully that’ll be transformed into a greenway.

So that would be the greenway that would connect through Devereux Meadows to the Crabtree Creek greenway? If that happened there would be a huge increase in bike commuters.
