The following is a brief summary of information on the subject properties and surrounding properties. The applicant, SH Brandt & Associates, on behalf of the HUS Group, LLC is requesting Major Site Plan approval for a 3-story multifamily development.

The project proposes a lot coverage of 32% with a building footprint of 15,181 square feet and provides a pervious area of 24% or 11,308 square feet.
The proposal is classified as a Major Site Plan as it is a new development with more than 15 multifamily dwelling units. The property has a Commercial land use designation and a Zoning designation of B-3 (General Business), which allows the multi-family residential use, as long as an allocation of flex units is approved to provide the residential entitlements. The flex allocation has been approved by the City Commission with Resolution 2020-155. The plans were reviewed by the Development Review Committee on August 5, 2020 and again on October 7, 2020. The Building Design was approved by the Appearance Committee (AAC) on October 21, 2020.
