Parking roadblock stalls McGee building plans in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids boards wrestle with off street parking for a 4000 square foot building at Fourth Avenue and 12th Street SE. The board restores non conforming C 2 status but cannot finalize a 10 parking space credit for a planned restaurant and arcade. Other items include a grocery store parking waiver, a duplex permit, a fence permit, and a revised site plan for a group home by Lutheran Family Services.
