The zoning permit approves the erection of an attached structure with a rear second-story deck, roof deck, and roof deck access structure, with size and location as shown on the approved plan. The zoning permit lists the property in the RM-1 zoning district and specifies residential household living, multi-family, with three dwelling units. The zoning table lists a 1,280-square-foot lot, a proposed 16-foot lot width, 960 square feet of occupied area, and 320 square feet of open area. The same table shows the proposed occupied area at 75 percent of the lot, the open area at 25 percent, a front yard setback of zero feet, and a rear yard setback of 13 feet outside of the decks. The proposed building height is listed at approximately 34 feet three inches, under the 38-foot maximum shown in the zoning summary.

Plans show the structure situated on a narrow lot sited along North 12th Street. The zoning plan shows the building extending back from the street with stairs at the frontage, a rear yard, a rear second-floor deck, a roof deck, and a pilot house. The drawings also show the property in an RM-1 zoning area, with site photographs documenting the vacant development lot and adjacent rowhouse context.
