Former The Gardens at DePugh Nursing Center site rezoning
Description
A request to rezone from R-2 residential to O-1 office for one-story office buildings and surface parking, with requested setback and buffer variances. The application is still incomplete and would require an affordable housing trust fund payment.
Impact summary
The project brings much-needed Class A office space (99% occupancy citywide), loses no actual housing, and its tax-exempt status ends — generating future CRA revenue for West Side heritage projects.
