Title

Laurel Place Senior Housing Project

Description

The purpose of the proposed project is to increase affordable senior housing in the City, while preserving a local cultural resource and increasing parkland. The proposed project involves three separate elements: renovation and rehabilitation of the existing main house and chauffeur's cottage, construction of new housing behind the main house, and creation of a public park in the northern and eastern portion of the site. The two-story main house, which currently includes four residential units, would be reconfigured to include five one-bedroom affordable senior apartments, one two-bedroom resident manager's office, and common space in the front ground-floor rooms that would be open for public uses. The existing chauffeur's cottage located on the northwest corner of the site would be retained and rehabilitated for use as a single affordable senior residential unit. The existing garages and bachelor's apartment, located near the rear of the site, would be removed. A new building of two to three stories in height would be constructed in the southwest portion of the site behind the main house and south of the chauffeur's cottage. The building would contain 21 one-bedroom affordable senior apartments and a subterranean garage with 17 to 19 parking spaces. A public park of approximately 9,900 square feet would be created on the northern and eastern portion of the site.
