Olympia requested City Council to delay the request on zoning changes. Right now there seems to be a tug-of-war on how much influence the city government will have on the development.
In addition to adding Park Avenue Hotel to the development site and potentially used for affordable housing, the city council also suggested that the number of parking spaces be halve the amount of parking spaces from 1,200 to 600 after concerns that the increased traffic would disrupt planned bike routes on Cass Avenue. There was also a request by the council for outdoor public seating around the arena site.
The delay will put off the decision until January when the City Council returns from winter recess.
