A mixed-use development project with 83 apartments and 5,000 square feet of commercial space near the intersection of E. First Avenue and Marshall Way took a step forward last week.
The city Planning Commission voted 6-1 Feb. 23 to recommend City Council approve the rezoning request to allow for the development known as the Artisan, which includes a four-story and five-story building on 1.92 acres.
Commissioner Barney Gonzalez cast the lone vote against the recommendation. Half the commercial space is earmarked for offices for the developer and the other half will be retail space. Gonzalez said he would like to a guarantee the retail space be a restaurant.
