The building is designed as a three-unit apartment structure and will include six covered accessory parking spaces on the first floor. Parking access will be provided via a shared drive aisle that runs through the site. The building will also include a roof deck and is required to be fully sprinklered.
According to elevation drawings, the structure will stand approximately 31 feet tall and include a deck off the third floor. A six-foot privacy fence is planned along the rear and side property lines. Site plans also confirm that the building is set back from the street frontage and situated between two alleys for access and buffer.

This structure is part of a larger three-building proposal on the site, which includes a total of 15 residential units across 19,601 square feet. The additional buildings on-site include duplexes that are not covered by this specific permit. However, the project’s three-unit design and internal parking are distinct within the broader development plan.
The estimated construction timeline has not been announced yet .
