Despite opposition, Eastman apartment plan moves forward

via Midland Daily News

A plan to allow a 49-unit, three story senior living facility at 5510 Eastman Ave. gained Midland Planning Commission support Tuesday night despite strong neighborhood opposition. The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow the multiple-family residential use in an office service-zoned parcel. The parcel is subject to a court judgment from 1991 prohibiting several uses, including schools, churches, rooming houses, fire stations, public utility facilities and radio broadcasting studios. The city said the ruling did not prohibit the proposed apartment building. Midland Planning Director Keith Baker recused himself from the discussion because his home is near the proposed building, so planning consultant Cindy Winland handled the proposal.
