Originally zoned for medium-density buildings, the site was rezoned for high-rises after a stalled redevelopment deal involving a tower and YMCA facility. The nonprofit wants to revert to the original zoning to attract buyers and gain flexibility — no new construction planned. But residents fear losing key public benefits like affordable housing and access easements without replacements. City Council is set to vote on Bill 55 today, which has already passed Planning Commission approval and needs three readings to become law.
