A proposed 92- unit apartment complex on Middlesettlements Road will feature four residential buildings plus a community building, gazebo and playground. The Alcoa Municipal/Regional Planning Commission gave site plan approval to Maryville Hall Apartments on Thursday, days before the Alcoa Board of Commissioners votes on whether to annex the 14.781 acres into the city. The commission will vote on the requested annexation, as well as the proposed zoning and plan of services for the property, at a called meeting at 8:15 a.m. Monday in the Commission Chambers of the Alcoa Municipal Building , 223 Associates Blvd. Although the planning commission recommended in April that Alcoa not annex the property at the intersection of Middlesettlements Road and Robert C. Jackson Drive, city commissioners revisited the issue Aug. 8 after voting in July not to provide fire hydrants to the proposed apartment complex because it is outside the city limits, as is city policy.

By Matthew Perlman Law360, New York (August 8, 2017, 6:44 PM EDT) -- Airbnb urged a California federal court on Monday to toss a proposed class action brought by an apartment complex owner alleging rowdy guests are costing money and disturbing long-term tenants, arguing that it’s not responsible for enforcing the owner’s “anti-tenant” lease provisions. The home- sharing site filed a motion to dismiss the suit lodged by AIMCO Venezia LLC and Park La Brea LLC , which are subsidiaries of Apartment Investment and Management Co., a large national landlord known as Aimco. Airbnb said that Aimco added a provision to its lease agreements that purports to prohibit any subleasing of its apartments after deciding that all participants in home-sharing services — hosts and guests — cause “stress and disruption.” Now, Airbnb said, the owner wants a third party to enforce its “blanket ban of people it views as undesirable at its luxury apartment properties .” “This complaint seeks to shift t...

The Tapiz at Mariposa apartment project , part of Denver Housing Authority ’s Mariposa District redevelopment project in the Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood . (Kevin J. Beaty/Denverite) People who are now happy to call the Mariposa District home would have tried to avoid the area in the not so distant past. “The projects came in here in 1952,” said Bob Cordova, a resident at the Tapiz at Mariposa. “This was the meanest goddamn area of Denver growing up, and it only got worse.” Cordova said he moved to the 100-unit Tapiz apartment building not long after the eight- story senior housing project was completed in 2011. “It feels safe in the area now,” Cordova said. The Tapiz was the first of eight redevelopment phases that Denver Housing Authority undertook to demolish and replace its 250- unit South Lincoln Park Homes . Several residents refer to the former complex as “the projects.” South Lincoln Homes complex along Navajo Street before they were demolished for the Mariposa Distr...

A major residential project could be on the way to Reseda, bringing 205 new apartments to the area. The six- story development is planned for 6670 North Reseda Boulevard , just a half-block from the LA River, and will replace a cluster of commercial and office buildings that now stand on the project site. Plans published last week on the Los Angeles Department of City Planning website show that the project will also include 5,932 square feet of commercial space , along with a total of 307 parking spaces for cars and 238 spots for bikes in a two-level garage. 18 of the units in the complex will be set aside for very low-income tenants.

The project is similar to another six- story development proposed right across the street in 2014. That complex, called the WaterMark, is set to include 254 units of h...

OTTUMWA — Two proposed changes to zoning in Ottumwa could help add housing and industry to the city’s base. One of the projects is new. The other has been a source of discussion for much of the year. Earlier this year the city council rejected the proposal to rezone 1321 Asbury Ave ., to allow for construction of a 63- unit apartment complex . Council members had passed the changes twice, but turned down the third reading amid concerns about what the development would mean and whether area residents had been given sufficient opportunity to comment. The $12 million project is “geared toward seniors and workforce affordability,” according to city documents . That’s slightly different phrasing than was used during the original push for the zoning change. Jim Danaher, the Fairfield developer behind the project, met with the council earlier this summer to review the council’s concerns after members signaled they would consider revisiting the issue. That set the stage for ...
