Key Actions & Votes
TMG (represented by Joey Mannarino) is seeking final design review approval to construct a surface parking lot at 1245 Carnegie Ave, encompassing parcels at 1212 and 1260 Sumner Ave (Ward 5, Downtown SPA). Case DF2026-002. This project is directly linked to Mandatory Legislative Referral Res. No. 1084-2024, which declares the city's intent to vacate a portion of Bronson Court S.E. and a portion of East 12th Street — street vacations needed to assemble the parking lot site.
Discussions
Surface parking lot approvals in the Downtown SPA draw scrutiny from urban planning advocates, as they can remove developable land from the tax base and reduce urban density. The street vacation component (Bronson Court and East 12th) is a significant public action — once vacated, these rights-of-way would be transferred for private use. Res. No. 1084-2024 was introduced by Council Members Starr, Bishop, and Hairston by departmental request.
Announcements & Updates
TMG is the development entity behind the project. The legislative referral and design review must both advance for the project to proceed. The next CPC meeting is scheduled for February 6, 2026.
