Vista del Lago Apartments Expansion
Description
Not formally on tonight's agenda, but it dominated public comment: Equity Residential wants to demolish 68 units and build 958 units total in six-story, roughly 85-foot buildings — which would be the tallest in the city. Residents demanded a delay past the March 10 vote, and the mayor promised a full presentation next meeting.
Impact summary
If built, it would add an estimated 700-1,000 cars to an already congested intersection, strain Fire Station 32's response capacity, and put construction truck traffic two blocks from a high school for roughly four years.
