The applicant, Carlos Yepes of BDG 800, LLC, is requesting a development agreement and concurrent future land use map amendment for a proposed 231-unit, multi-family project at 800 8^th Avenue. In coordination with City staff, the applicant is hosting a courtesy, informational “Open House” for neighbors to learn about a proposed multi-family development project before it goes to a public hearing. The involvement and awareness of neighboring property owners in the early planning and approval process is essential to answer questions and discuss concerns to ensure successful integration of the new development into the existing area if approved.
