Council Member Feliz questions on expanding community space by going taller
Feliz asks if going taller could double the community space. Westergren confirms it's architecturally possible. Kelly Biscuso notes the financing challenge: the city expects community spaces to fund themselves through rent, and a 30,000 sq ft space could end up vacant without city funding and a committed partner.
I could just ask two more questions.
Of course.
Yes.
So if the community, I know we're debating the height of the building and the rezoning.
If the community agreed to allow even taller housing,
Would it be possible to, let's say, have the 15,000 times two?
Assuming that whatever you're going to have on the second floor, we just add it to the final floor.
Is that a possibility, or is there, like, architecture issues with that?
I'm going to ask the architect if there are architectural issues on that.
Wait, I don't think I fully understand the question.
He's asking, would there be a way to double the 15,000 square foot?
Spot if we went taller even.
Oh yeah, certainly.
Like a 30,000 square feet.
That's what you're asking, correct?
