The Pulse was originally scheduled to be completed in October 2017. Last month, GRTC officials said construction may run through the end of the year.

The majority of Scott’s Addition is currently zoned as an industrial area. Over the past several years, it has become one of the city’s fastest-growing neighborhoods as developers have converted old industrial spaces into apartment buildings and condominiums.

The new zoning district would provide for building heights between two and 12 stories. It would prohibit surface parking as a primary or conditional use. It would also restrict along which streets parking decks can be accessed and require that decks on certain streets be wrapped with structures that have another primary use.

Under the proposed new zoning, there is no parking requirement for residential developments smaller than 16 units. For residential developments larger than 16 units, one space must be provided for every two units. Save for hotels, no commercial property owner would be required to provide parking spaces for patrons.

City staff met with the area neighborhood associations and business alliance over the past several months to gather feedback on the proposed changes. No one spoke in favor of or against them during a public hearing Tuesday.

The council will weigh the proposed rezoning, as well as the creation of the new TOD-1 zoning designation, later this month.
