Zoning documents place the property in the RM-1 multi-family district. The lot measures approximately 17 feet wide and 1,296 square feet in total area. Plans call for a footprint covering 972 square feet, or 75 percent of the lot, leaving a 15-foot-deep rear yard with 324 square feet of open space. The building will rise to a maximum height of 38 feet, consistent with the local height limit for new construction.
Drawings illustrate a three-story structure with a flat roofline and a mezzanine above the third floor. The façade presents evenly spaced rectangular windows and a recessed ground-floor entry accessed via a short stair. Exterior materials are depicted with a brick veneer finish. Interior layouts show one dwelling unit per floor, with Unit 3 spanning into the mezzanine.
