22-unit multifamily development (File 24-DPV-34)
Description
A four-story, 22-unit apartment building with variances for reduced corner setbacks tied to future right-of-way dedications. Denied 3-3 after neighbors raised flooding, solar shading, traffic and privacy concerns.
Impact summary
The Planning and Development Board denied it on Feb 10, 2026.
This was the first project drawing on the city's new 1,000 flex-unit pool — and its failure shows neighbors near the RAC boundary will fight four-story buildings next to one-story homes.
