Summary:
This agenda item is for a revision of a previously approved project. The project is to construct a 9-story mixed-use development with a total of 40 residential units and 2,700 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The footprint of the proposed building is 45,201 sq. ft. on a 58,100 sq. ft. (1.334 acre) site. Lot coverage is 77.8%.

It also eliminates the characterized uniqueness of the original fa?ade design. The number of vertical metal fins was reduced, and the distance between the remaining elements was increased, losing the brise soleil effect and impact on the elevations.
Another significant exterior change is the perforated metal screening removal from the North Elevation....
