Richard Sciortino, Principal with Brinshore Development, stated that they are struggling with the color palate for the three buildings. They will do a mock up with a variety of schemes to make a decision. Vice Mayor Shimoni noted that some areas of the project had open space, but did not see that consistently throughout the project. Mr. Sciortino explained that the area on West Street has open space and dog parks. It was difficult to fit the building in the area by the BMX park due to the floodways and with that park and the community garden so close by they felt there were ample open space amenities close by. Mayor Evans asked about the commercial space and community use. Mr. Sciortino stated that they are not charging rent for that space and they are hoping to partner with multiple partners to bring in community benefits and use. It is about 3,000 sq.ft. Some of the area will be used for a leasing office and storage but the public use will be about 1,500 sq.ft. Councilmember Odegaard thanked them for the great example of a public/private partnership. Councilmember McCarthy thanked the developer for coming to Flagstaff and working with the community. Councilmember Salas stated that the Council has renewed its commitment to increase the supply of affordable housing as one of their primary goals and this project is a step toward meeting that goal. She commended staff and the developer for working together and making the project happen. |
