Glendale Planning Commission Recommends Rezoning for Coventry Commons Redevelopment

The Planning and Architecture Review Commission reviewed a proposal for the redevelopment of Coventry Commons, located at the former Northshore Library site. The proposal involves a new planned development zoning, a comprehensive plan amendment, and a General Development Plan (GDP). The project aims to repurpose the existing 60,000 sq ft building and develop the 4.3-acre site into four zones: Zone 1 for small-scale retail/commercial, Zone 2 for residential (townhouses or garden-style apartments), Zone 3 for repurposing the existing building into internal storage, and Zone 4 as an expansion area. The Commission recommended the zoning map amendment and the comprehensive plan amendment to the Common Council. The approval is contingent on the submission of a legal description and a descriptive narrative for new construction, and adherence to the conditions outlined in the staff memo, including 20% green space and traffic impact studies at the Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) stage.
