Document Description
The proposed project would involve demolition of two existing on-site office buildings totaling 9,215 at 511 Byron and 680 University Avenue/500 Middlefield Road and merging three parcels in order to construct a four-story mixed-use building with two levels of below grade parking. The proposed project includes 63 residential units, 9,115 square feet of office space, and associated facilities. Residential units would include studios, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units ranging from 387 square feet to 755 square feet; 20 percent (13) of the units would be provided at below market rate. Pedestrian access to the project would be provided via two entrances on University Avenue. Vehicular access would be provided via Byron Street and lead to a two-level below grade parking garage with 79 parking stalls. The project includes rezoning the property from Low Density Multi-Family Residential (RM-20) to a Planned Community (PC) Zone District. The project also includes a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to allow for retention of existing office space.
