Approve revised housing project with 154 single-family homes at former port site
In Plain English
The city approved a 323-unit apartment project at 1500 Dornan Drive in 2016, but the developer now wants to build 154 detached homes instead. The 13.8-acre site was a former port terminal until the 1990s and has been vacant since cleanup. If approved, the city sells 10 acres to the developer and keeps the rest for a shoreline park.
