A proposal for 301 apartments and town houses in West Boise is moving forward.
The Victory Flats multifamily complex would feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units at 8373 W. Victory Road. Maps of the project show 29 residential buildings.
The property sits in between South Trabuco Avenue and South Milwaukee Lane and north of West Junior High School. It is just north of the city-owned Murgoitio parcel, an undeveloped site long planned for a park that became controversial last summer after city officials considered it for an affordable-housing project.
The Victory Road property was purchased last year by Layton and Welltower Inc., a real estate investment trust in Ohio known for its health care-oriented housing investments. The companies said they would build a “wellness-focused housing development” that would “encourage residents to meet, interact and spend time with each other, thus building a community.”
During a Boise Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 7, Layton Construction representative Deborah Nelson said the project is designed to capitalize on nearby bus stops and accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians.
South Cole Neighborhood Association President Estee Lefrenz testified in opposition to the project and raised concerns about traffic, safety and compatibility with the area. The city of Boise received more than 30 emails opposing the project.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the planned unit development application, which is a final decision. The commission also voted in favor of recommending a rezoning, which will next go before the City Council.
