232 Tower Drive Eight-Story, 55-Unit Builder's Remedy Project
Summary
The council approved the controversial project on Tower Drive despite intense neighborhood opposition over parking (13 spaces for 55 units), traffic, construction impacts, and effects on the adjacent Carthay Circle historic district. State builder's remedy law left the city with almost no legal basis to deny. New construction conditions try to soften the blow for neighbors.

Impact analysis
Denial could have exposed the city to attorney fee awards and possible bad-faith penalties from developer lawsuits, which weighed on the council's decision.
The developer and future residents, including 11 low-income households, gain new housing near transit.
Tower Drive and Carthay Circle residents face years of construction, spillover parking, and traffic on streets they say are already over capacity.
