The drive-through aspect of Loose Goose proved to be just one of a few issues in the developers' proposal.
Just last year, Council decided the intersection of Grant and Grand was supposed to be part of a pedestrian- and bike-friendly plan for the new Grant Avenue Parkway.
But as Council heard on Monday night, developers' Loose Goose plan and the city's Grant Avenue Parkway plan didn't quite match up on paper.
“It doesn’t meet the intent of the plan,” Brendan Griesemer, city assistant director of planning and development, told Council members.
City Councilman Craig Hosmer asked, “Is that both the mixed-use and the drive-in or the...?”
Greiesmer's response: "Yeah, there’s three components: the mixed-use piece, as well as the drive-through and the packaged liquor.”
Hosmer was one of three no votes on the Loose Goose rezoning, along with Councilman Mike Schilling and Councilwoman Monica Horton.
Councilman Richard Ollis voted for the Loose Goose. He said he thinks it will be "the anchor activity center" for the new parkway. He told his fellow Council members, "I really believe we're getting hung up... there will be lots of pedestrian activity here."
The Loose Goose wasn't only divisive among City Council members. City staff recommended that Council deny the rezoning, while the city Planning & Zoning Commission voted in favor of it earlier this month.
But the privately funded project is now set to go forward, alongside the $26 million Grant Avenue Parkway redevelopment. Much of the redevelopment is funded by a Trump-era federal program.
