A phasing plan for site improvements and expansion of the Gordon Doner office building at the southwest corner of Northlake Boulevard and Sunset Drive won approval from the council Thursday night.
The council voted unanimously to approve the plan, which would delay the expansion of the existing building until site improvements are completed.
Those improvements include grading, paving, curbing and landscaping at the 0.87-acre site. Seventeen additional parking spaces will be added.
Work could begin within the next six months, said Alessandria Palmer, a land planner with project manager Cotleur Hearing Inc.
Expansion of the building would be delayed until late 2014, Palmer added.
The site was developed in 1985 with a three-story office building providing 9,611 square feet of office space. An expansion by 5,059 square feet plus additional parking was approved in February 2012.
Kevin Easton, who has lived in area for 30 years, opposes the expansion, citing traffic.
“It’s a danger to residents,” he said. “Somebody’s going to get hurt. It’s just not safe.”
