The presentation provides comprehensive details about the proposed development, including building design, height, and unit count.
- Two 13-story buildings, each with a maximum height of 130 feet
- 4-7 story base heights to match the existing context
- Approximately 250,000 square feet of residential floor area
- 244 dwelling units, with 25% permanently affordable under MIH Option 1
- Significant number of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments
- Nearly half an acre (21,000 square feet) of landscaped open space
- Building design includes articulation to reduce the impact of height from street level

The proposed development is comprised of 2 buildings, designed this way because of the unique site and also to maximize the open space on the site.
2:38:58
2 13 story buildings that rise to a total height of a 130 feet.
2:39:02
However, while 13 stories is the maximum height, the buildings are comprised of 4 7 story base heights.
2:39:09
The buildings are highly articulated to reduce the impact of the height from the street level, and to to match the base heights on on the block, which is something that the R71 Zoning District permits, by design.
2:39:24
We have just under 250,000 square feet of residential floor area.
2:39:28
I will note that this project was conceived and designed prior to the City of Yes adoption last month, and so this presentation and our design still, account for the 4.6 FAR.
2:39:41
The City of Yes rezoning sorry.
2:39:43
YES text amendment would allow a 5.01 FAR, which would be about 22,000 square feet more at the site.
2:39:51
Unlike the 19 stories that was originally proposed and I know was a great concern for the community, not something we had ever considered for the project, That maximum is now 15 stories, but we are still committed to building no more than 13 stories.
2:40:04
The additional 22,000 square feet, which is about 20 units or so, could be accommodated within the existing envelope given the size of the site.
2:40:15
The, within the existing height, the envelope would need to change a bit.
2:40:20
This would be about 244 dwelling units, again, a little bit higher with City of Yes, with 25 percent of those units permanently affordable under MIH option 1.
2:40:30
We included a significant number of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, and that distribution would continue with the permanently affordable units.
2:40:40
Lastly, and I think not insignificantly, the project would restore space that is currently covered by building, totally, you know, impervious with nearly half an acre, 21,000 square feet of landscaped open space at the rear of the site adjacent to the residential rear yards on the block.

The site plan illustrates the proposed open space, as well as the building massings that show the articulation.
2:41:11
Next slide.
2:41:15
And then a rendering showing the proposed materiality.
2:41:18
Obviously, this is still to be designed, but the concept is to break up the massing of the building and to have the base match the existing, materiality on the block.
