A controversial Rosedale high-rise apartment building is on tonight’s Unified Government Commission agenda.
Several Rosedale residents turned out at previous meetings to oppose the building at 4601 Rainbow Blvd.
Blair Tanner, the developer, who also owns Woodside Club, has proposed a seven-story, 149-unit apartment building. The project was sent back for more work, and the original 172 units were reduced to 149 units. The building as designed would cast shade during the winter on a few homes, including a home owned by former state Sen. Chris Steineger. Although the design was changed slightly to cast less shade, the project was still being opposed at the Planning Commission meeting by several residents and the Rosedale Development Association. It passed the Planning Commission on a 6-2 vote. (See earlier story at https://wyandotteonline.com/rosedale-area-residents-speak-out-about-high-rise-apartment-proposal/.)
Also on the agenda is a public hearing and an ordinance to adopt the 505 Central redevelopment district project plan. This is a high-rise apartment building on Central Avenue near 5th.
