The site measures 960 square feet, with the proposed structure occupying 720 square feet (75 percent of the parcel). The remaining 171 square feet is reserved for a rear yard, meeting the minimum setback depth of nine feet, and exceeding the required 144-square-foot open area. A total open space of 240 square feet (25 percent of the lot) complies with code requirements.
The building will stand 33 feet tall to the main roof, with the pilot house extending to just under 36 feet. No front setback is required since adjacent structures extend to the property line.
Architectural drawings depict a straightforward triplex layout, with one unit per floor above a cellar. Each unit will access the roof deck via the shared pilot house stairwell. Façade elevations show a standard three-story attached row-house form with a brick front and a roof deck guardrail set back from the street edge.
The property is situated on Ellsworth Street between South 23rd and South 24th streets. Nearby landmarks include Wharton Square Playground and the Philadelphia ReStore on Alter Street. The location places residents within walking distance of commercial corridors along Washington Avenue and South 22nd Street.
