Summary:
The applicant is requesting Major Site Plan approval in order to construct a new 37 unit multi-family development with a four-story building, with associated parking and landscaping. The project previously obtained approval from the Planning and Zoning Board in October of 2018. The development order expired prior to issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit, and as a result the project must obtain new approval. The site is currently vacant. The total building footprint will be 11,000 square feet (sq. ft.) on a 27,500 sq. ft. (0.63 acre) site with 40% lot coverage. Minor changes include additional landscaping and changes to the site grading, and ground floor height clearance. The Development Review Committee reviewed the subject site plan on January 18, 2023. In addition, the subject site plan received Major Design approval on April 4, 2023 by the Architectural Appearance Committee.
The property is located on the east side of the NE 19th Ave between East Atlantic Blvd and NE 2nd Street.
