The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to discuss the controversial Capital Lofts high-rise apartment development at its meeting Monday afternoon. Planning Commission staffers are recommending the commission defer action on the rezoning request because the property at the end of Sixth Street doesn’t meet the lot and yard requirements for a high-rise apartment complex. The commission staffers also note that the project hasn’t gotten a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission, which would be needed in order to get a building permit in the Historic Spanish Town District. Developer David Slaughter wants to build a 115-unit complex overlooking Arsenal Park, but many Spanish Town residents oppose the project. The Historic Preservation Commission voted Wednesday to defer taking action on the project, saying more information about the Capital Lofts is needed.
