A total of 200 multi-family residential units and approximately 5,143 square feet of interior non-residential, ground floor area for commercial and recreational uses are proposed. Of the 200 residential units, 17 of the units are allocated for low-income households. Residential units are designed to vary in size from 596 to 1,070 square feet, consisting of 31 studio, 132 one-bedroom, and 37 two-bedroom units. Various recreational facilities and amenities are included in the building design for the residents, including a resort-style pool, rooftop deck, dog park, and courtyard gathering areas. An outdoor public plaza will also be provided at the site’s northeast corner at the intersection of Olive Avenue and Myrtle Avenue. Vehicular access to the site and subterranean parking would be provided from a driveway that connects with Olive Avenue.
