ALERT: We Are Losing Affordable Housing & Retail Shops at 700 W. North Ave!

Описание: Your Input is CRITICAL! Take the Survey by FRIDAY, November 28th!

Our Reservoir Hill community is facing a critical decision point regarding the future of Parcel C (700 W. North Ave). The Reservoir Hill Association (RHA) successfully secured a delay on the developer’s BMZA hearing, and now we must present a community-backed plan.

THE ORIGINAL IDEA (The Promise)
A mixed-use development with 174 planned apartments (including affordable units). Ground-floor grocery store and retail shops (saving C2 commercial zoning).

THE NEW PROPOSAL (The Pivot)
A residential-only plan for 52 for-sale townhomes (starting around $400k+). Requires a variance to build housing on land currently zoned C2 Commercial, permanently sacrificing future retail opportunities.

The Developer's Rationale: MCB cites a substantial $27 million financing gap on the original mixed-use project, forcing the shift to a housing-only model.

The Community's Concern: We lose critical affordable housing and the commercial zoning needed for a walkable neighborhood (coffee shops, daycares, dry cleaners, studios, etc.). This is a "Use It or Lose It" moment for our commercial corridor.

YOUR VOICE IS POWER: TAKE THE SURVEY NOW!

We cannot simply oppose the plan; we must present a viable alternative backed by data. Your input is our negotiating power!

DEADLINE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28TH

Your answers will be compiled into the official Community Vision Report that the RHA will present to MCB Real Estate, the City Planning Department, and State agencies this Monday, December 1st.
