The Zoning Administrator will hear the variance application concurrently with the Planning Commission. The proposal is to convert the existing office use on the top seven floors of the subject building to approximately 7 dwelling units (one per floor at approximately 1,200 square feet, retaining existing ground floor retail use. Some common residential open space would be created on the rooftop of the subject building, but less would be provided than the minimum required by the Planning Code due to roof size and fire code restrictions. No parking would be provided in order to preserve the building’s historic façade, to avoid creating automobile/pedestrian conflicts, and also due to the subject lot’s narrow width of 20 feet.
