The building footprint is 52,000 square feet. In Zone D, a 6-story, multi-family building is proposed, with 90 dwelling units a 6,400 square foot courtyard and ground level amenities. The building footprint is 17,900 square feet. Total lot coverage is 77% on an overall 90,876 square foot site. The Applicant proposes that the two buildings will be connected across the NE 2 Street right-of-way by an elevated pedestrian bridge, which must be approved by the City Commission by a Resolution.
