A commercial/residential development proposed for land at the intersection of North Dodge Street and North Scott Boulevard is closer to approval.
The Daily Iowan reports the City Council voted unanimously on the second reading Tuesday to advance the project, which will include a restaurant, an eight-unit mixed-use building, and nine attached single-family units. The development will also install a right-turn lane along Scott Boulevard.
Councilor John Thomas was absent from Tuesday’s vote.
According to the developer, the project consists of a restaurant, a commercial building with eight residential dwellings above it, nine townhouses, and two drive-throughs with the intention of being used for a coffee shop and an ATM.
The council agenda indicates that A Latte Buzzness has applied to occupy one of the drive-throughs. They’re better known as Scooter’s Coffee, with locations already established in Iowa City and Coralville.
The council needs to okay the ordinance a third time before the development can move forward.
