Some of the city’s top officials say Fountain Square should have a hotel, not apartments as the latest round of changes to the developers’ apartment plan prompted another developer to withdraw his opposition. Highview Commercial, the project’s developer, has filed an application with the Planning and Zoning Commission seeking to amend the already approved Planned Development District for the site. The public hearing has been continued. Thomas added that preventing apartment developments — especially ones that follow the city’s affordable housing plan guidelines such as this one — on Bridgeport Avenue could lead to more state statute 8-30g applications.
