West Lafayette officials are considering three rezoning ordinances for planned developments in the city. The projects include a residential building on the corner of Chauncey and Harrison and mixed use properties on Northwestern across from Mackey and at the State Street intersection. Council members discussed the ordinances at a precouncil meeting Thursday. District One councilor Eddie VanBogaert says the State Street Corner project is good, but not perfect. Whenever we consider a planned development there are a lot of conditions that go with that, and so I was a little disappointed that we restricted the hours of alcohol sales in the sort of [Black] Sparrow/Prestons-style restaurant-bar thats going to be proposed in the basement. VanBogaert expects all three ordinances to receive approval from the council during its meeting Monday. He thinks Purdue as a whole can benefit from increased living space near campus. It does achieve greater density, it does bring more apartments within
