Re: Revised Sketch Plan Application—269 Broadway—Multi-Use Building
Dear Ms. Barden,
Enclosed please find the following Sketch Plan documents for the Planning Board's review:
• Site Plan (1 copy)
• Architectural Plans & Renderings, including Civic Space (1 copy)
• Long Environmental Assessment Form (1 copy)
• Site Plan Application
Project Overview
Our client proposes to construct a 6 story mixed-use building located at 269 Broadway (Tax Parcel 165.75-1-7). Currently
the site, which is in the T-6 Transect Zone, is vacant, except for a small parking lot. The site has frontage on both
Broadway and Hamilton Street. Since our last submission, the adjacent Church has signed a contract allowing the use of
38' of land as an easement. This will allow the Civic Space to be placed in this land, as well as a sidewalk to access the
main entrance of the proposed building.
Building
The proposed 70'-0" high building would be comprised of the following:
• First floor- retail (approx. 17,320 sf)
• Second floor—office and restaurant (approx. 14,318 sf) and exterior balcony
• Third through fifth floors—office (approx. 19,768 sf each floor)
• Sixth floor—office (approx. 16,745 sf) and exterior balcony
Parking
While no parking is required within the T-6 zone,the project proposes 2 levels of underground parking which would
contain 70 parking spaces. The parking garage would be accessed from Hamilton Street.
Usage
The uses of office, restaurant and retail are all allowed uses within the T-6 Transect Zone.
Utilities
The building will be serviced by public water and sewer.
We request that this project be placed on the next Planning Board agenda. We are also requesting a meeting with DRC
and have sent materials to Amanda Tucker for her review.
Sincerely,
