VOA BUILDS AT 3816 READING ROADVolunteers of America (VOA)
began construction of a 5-unit independent living apartment building for
the developmentally disabled at the southeast corner of Reading
Road/Clinton Springs. City Hearing Examiner imposed restrictions on
development including that style be compatible with nearby buildings, that
fences and decorative screening from adjacent buildings be provided, no
signage, persons under criminal justice system not permitted to live at
apartment. RENTAL REHAB REQUEST FOR 4087 VICTORY PARKWAY (AT ASMANN AVE.)This 34 unit apartment building was recently purchased by a California investor. He has requested NANA support for a Rental Rehab Loan from the City to provide housing for low income tenants. NANA has informed the City it is totally opposed to having this market rent apartment converted into low income occupancy because 1) North Avondale is already overly impacted with low income housing and 2) this apartment backs up to and abuts a CMHA public housing project on Ledgewood Drive.
ADVERTISING BENCHES GO & BILLBOARDS LIMITEDAs part of a program to eliminate unsightly advertising along city streets City Council passed two ordinances on June 6, 2007. One was an ordinance making placement of advertising benches on city streets no longer authorized. Bench owners are to remove their benches or the city will remove and store them at cost to owners. Communities are encouraged to place attractive benches at bus stops for the convenience of bus riders. An ordinance was also passed prohibiting billboards from being placed within 100 feet of a residentially zoned district. |
