The property is zoned CMX-2 and occupies a 2,992-square-foot lot. The zoning plans describe a one-story addition above the existing second floor and show the occupied portion of the lot decreasing from 2,972 square feet to 2,205 square feet. A 10-foot rear yard will replace the existing nonconforming zero-foot condition, with former interior space at the rear converted into outdoor space. The plans list a maximum and proposed building height of 38 feet.

The building permit characterizes the work as reconstruction with an addition and classifies it as new construction because more than two-thirds of the existing joists and exterior walls will be replaced. The approved plans retain portions of the existing building while adding the residential third floor and reshaping the rear of the structure to provide the new outdoor area.
