The attached structure will be constructed under the R-2 occupancy classification and will be fully sprinklered under NFPA 13R standards. A section drawing within the zoning permit shows floor-to-floor heights of ten feet at the first, second, and third floors, with a roof elevation at 33 feet 6 inches, complying with the RM-1 district limit of 38 feet. A pilot house will rise an additional three feet above the parapet.
The front elevation will face toward East Huntingdon Street. A recessed entry is planned at the sidewalk, with stairs leading to the first floor. The rear of the property faces north toward a three-foot alley, where the plans show an open rear yard of approximately 316 square feet, including an egress well and rear steps placed one-and-a-half feet above grade.
The lot measures 1,221 square feet, with an existing width of 16-and-a-half feet that remains unchanged. The proposed occupied area measures 907 square feet, or 74.3 percent of the whole site, consistent with RM-1 maximum coverage. The rear yard depth is listed as 13 feet 7 inches, exceeding the nine-foot minimum required. Side yards remain at zero feet, which is permitted for an attached structure.
Overall, the new development at 1822 East Huntingdon Street will be a positive addition to a steadily growing section of East Kensington as it will contribute new residential stock to the neighborhood.

“Side yards remain at zero feet, which is permitted for an attached structure.” Not only permitted but required. Otherwise it would not be an attached structure.
