Tempe residents who oppose a developer’s proposal to build a 256-unit apartment building on the northern shore of Town Lake have filed a legal protest that allows them to plead their case before the council Thursday, Dec. 4.
The legal protest requires a public hearing for the appeal of the Development Review Commission’s October 28 unanimous decision to approve the development plan review for Jefferson Town Lake apartments.
The six-story apartment complex would be built in the Playa del Norte center, which houses a small retail complex, a hotel, a condo and an apartment building near Rural Road and the Red Mountain Freeway, on an estimated 1.6 acres. Tempe owns a portion of the land, which it would sell if the apartment complex is constructed.
