We hope you and your family have had a relaxing and enjoyable summer thus far. Our team would like to thank you again for your support and engagement and provide some updates as we continue through the entitlement process.
For those who were unable to attend the Zoning Commission hearings in May, the Vision McMillan Partners team presented at five public Zoning hearings that included renderings and detailed plans of over 6 acres of open park space, a 17,000 sq ft community center, affordable housing for seniors and a full service grocery store, among other exciting elements of the vision for a New McMillan. All interested parties and individuals were provided an opportunity to testify in front of the Commission at each hearing.
Following the hearings, the commission asked our team to follow up on specific items in more detail or provide additional renderings, studies and clarification of many elements presented. This is typical procedure. In response, we provided, for example expanded traffic mitigation tactics, revised building designs and a finalized list of community amenities supported by ANC 5E.
The full post hearing submission documents can be found on our website here.
Stay tuned for future emails and visit us on Facebook for regular updates and highlights.
