As noted in our prior review, the proposed uses and project is for the re -use of eight (8)

of frontage along Broadway in the city's T-5 zoning district (So. B'way Dev. District).
The new uses will utilize existing municipal infrastructure with tie-ins to existing
water, sanitary, storm sewer (from onsite stormwater mgmnt facilities). The entire
3.06 acres is to be disturbed, with the garage decreasing in size from previous
submission and a respective increase in the area utilized for lawn/landscaping.

previously commercial the use is now all residential. Uses are noted as being:
110 affordable housing apartment uses
