What this is
A property owner is requesting amended development standards and a revised concept plan for a 45.93-acre lot at the northeast corner of N. Coit Road and Melrose Drive, currently zoned Planned Development for the R-1500-M Residential District. The changes would allow additional building square footage, relocated driveways, and construction of additional parking spaces.
Why it matters
Approving this change would allow a larger building footprint and more parking on this sizeable residential-zoned site, which could affect traffic and neighborhood character near N. Coit Road and Melrose Drive.
