Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approval allows the redevelopment to move forward, but the permit conditions still need to be refined and formally adopted. Every residential unit will have an assigned parking space, with 21 additional garage spaces available to residents and 11 commercial spaces potentially available to residents or visitors outside business hours. The applicant will be responsible for snow and ice removal along the site frontage and for construction-related police detail costs, if needed.
