WORK STUDY SESSION <br />C. DISCUSSION OF MODIFICATIONS TO THE MONTAGE MID-RISE <br />RESIDENTIAL PROJECT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF <br />MAIN AND MACARTHUR <br />Principal Planner Vince Fregoso provided background and a status update on <br />the portion of the larger MacArthur Place South project, formerly under <br />development by Integral. This project, located at the southwest corner of Main <br />Street and MacArthur, is now being developed by Lyon Capital Ventures. Mr. <br />Fregoso introduced the representatives for the project: Peter Zak, Vice President <br />of Development, Bill McKibbin, Chairman and CEO, and Christopher W. Coe with <br />Coe International Architects. <br />Mr. Zak and Mr. Coe discussed the proposed redesign of the previously <br />approved project. As Mr. Coe explained, primary among the design changes <br />proposed would be improved connectivity to the street and the larger MacArthur <br />Place project, as well as the redesign of the project from apodium-style product <br />to a "wrap" design. Mr. Coe provided information on other details of the plan, <br />such as the quality, size and location of open space; reduced travel distances <br />from parking space to unit; more units facing streets rather than tight interior <br />courts; lower building heights, building massing more responsive to urban <br />context, at-grade urban connectivity; amenities and quality of design and <br />compatibility. <br />Planning Manager Haluza indicated that, in order to provide more time for <br />discussion, afollow-up study session would be scheduled in the near future. <br />D.
