A new version of a Southbank development that includes self-storage drew a fresh round of opposition from neighbors but received a favorable recommendation April 9 from the Downtown Development Review Board. 

The DDRB voted 7-1 in favor of an amended rezoning request for the Lofts at Southbank, a 10-story mixed-use development planned at southwest Prudential Drive and Hendricks Avenue. Linzee Ott, the board’s vice chair, voted no.

The vote came on the third version of the project that has come forward. Residents in San Marco and the Southbank spoke out against it previously, and more than a dozen turned out for the DDRB meeting to oppose the new iteration.
