A quasi-judicial hearing was held regarding a Development Order Compliance Review for the Harborwalk Village Phase II development. The project is located at 76 and 100 Harbor Boulevard and encompasses approximately 8.31 acres. The proposed modifications aim to comply with Development Order (DO) 10-02. Staff identified several potential issues, including insufficient information for Phase 2B, building heights exceeding the 100-foot/9-story limit, setbacks not meeting minimum requirements, modifications to a previously limited access point on Highway 98, and parking exceeding the maximum allowed. The applicant argued that the deviations were minor and technical. The council ultimately voted 5-1 to find the applicant not in compliance with Development Order 10-02, citing multiple elements including height, setbacks, and lack of detailed final plans. The applicant may pursue available options such as applying for a major deviation or returning to council. Public comments included concerns about harbor safety, overcrowding, and the accuracy of capacity calculations, as well as support for the city's progress and partnerships.
