Longmont council approves controversial Renaissance Village apartments

The Longmont City Council on Tuesday approved the controversial development of a 276-unit apartment complex at the southwest corner of Airport Road and Clover Basin Drive.

The Times-Call reports that council voted 5-2 in favor of the Renaissance Village apartments, which had previously been approved by the planning and zoning commission. The council did, however, make the approval with a list of conditions that include not building any more residential units at the site and instead adding commercial uses to the remaining six acres.
