ANN ARBOR, MI Plans are in the works for a three-story, mixed-use development at 2111 Packard St. in Ann Arbor.
The project being proposed by Jackson Dearborn Partners LLC includes a 72-unit apartment building with 118 bedrooms and two ground-floor retail spaces.
City Council voted unanimously this week to give its initial OK to rezone the south portion of the 1.7-acre site from a parking district to a commercial district for the development. The north portion is already zoned commercial.
It awaits final approval Jan. 19.
“We are un-paving paradise and we are turning car storage into human storage, which I think is a great direction for us to move in,” said Council Member Lisa Disch, D-1st Ward, council’s liaison to the Planning Commission.
