The board approved five projects including a shopping center facade upgrade, a pay-station kiosk, an affordable residential conversion, a housing tower, and signage relocation. Three other applications—a mixed-use tower, a parking lot repaving, and an affordable housing restoration—were deferred to July for supplemental submissions and neighbor coordination. The board expressed strong support for adaptive reuse and affordability initiatives while pressing applicants on construction management, stormwater details, and traffic flow.
