Impact analysis
The applicant would pay a $27,500 housing permit fee and donate $100,000 to the affordable housing trust fund; the city also collects impact fees on the project.
The applicant and future office tenants gain a unified O-1 zoning and flexible setbacks; the housing trust fund gains $127,500.
The loss of residential zoning potential removes three to four potential housing units, and neighbors worry about traffic on Welbourne Avenue.

Planning and Zoning Board - Oct 6, 2026
Z Properties Group wants to flip part of 550 West Morse Boulevard from low-density residential to office zoning and build about 27,500 square feet of office buildings. That's a land-use change neighbors on Morse Boulevard would feel directly, since it brings office traffic and parking where homes were planned.
