The vote does not approve a development plan or allow construction; it only starts a review of whether the properties meet redevelopment-area criteria. The board also heard Target's proposal to convert 18 parking spaces into 12 permanent drive-up pickup spaces, reducing total parking from 789 to 783, but the minutes do not record a final decision on that application. Board members asked for a future analysis of affordable housing applications, parking, and related zoning requirements.
