Downtown apartments approved, appeal planned

A modern four-story apartment building slated for one of downtown's oldest residential areas won approval Tuesday from a divided Board of Zoning Adjustment after 11 neighbors and nearby property owners spoke against it and promised to appeal the decision.
The 28-unit building proposed at 2125 18th St. would have one-bedroom apartments with loft-style floor plans ranging from 760 square feet to 1,180 square feet.
