Zoning approval authorizes the project to be used as Multi-Family Household Living within an RM-1 zoning district. According to the approved scope of work, the development will contain twelve dwelling units and include five accessory garage parking spaces, one of which is designated as van-accessible. Four Class 1A bicycle parking spaces are also provided along an accessible route. Total construction area is listed at 18,450 square feet.
Zoning materials indicate the project consolidates three existing parcels into a single lot measuring approximately 5,247 square feet. The proposal exceeds the RM-1 base maximum of eleven dwelling units, introducing twelve units as a non-conforming condition. Height is also listed as non-conforming, with the building rising to 45 feet, above the district’s 38-foot maximum. Occupied area calculations show the project conforms to the 75 percent lot coverage.
