The proposal would allow residential use and buildings up to 8 stories or 85 feet because of the site's topography. No final decision was made, and the applicant is expected to address resident concerns before the April 1 review. The Commission also unanimously approved an ordinance allowing certain building projects by right in the North Druid Hills and Briarwood nodes.
