Gaffron stated the project would consist of the same conditions, same terms of approval, and <br />the same terms of ownership as the previous senior center project. Gaffron stated Dunbar would like to <br />submit an application within the next month. <br />Gaffron stated this site was rezoned to B-6 to accommodate the office building, which would need to be <br />rezoned to accommodate the senior housing. Gaffron stated at a recent open house, there were 60 people <br />in attendance, which demonstrated a great interest in this area for this type of housing. Gaffron stated <br />Dunbar is looking for some preliminary approval of the concept for this site. <br />Tom Barrett stated the City would need to look at the implications this would have on the Tff Dis&ict. <br />PAGES <br />n <br />■ I
