PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Project proposes to replace three existing shopping centerrelated buildings within the Project Site that together comprise approximately 00,78 square feet and associated surface parking areas with a new mixed-use development consisting of 658 multi-family residential units and an estimated 27,300 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial uses, including approximately 3,650 square feet of retail space and approximately 3,650 square feet of restaurant space. The proposed multi-family residential and commercial uses would be provided within three seven-story buildings with a maximum height of approximately 77 feet.

Overall, the Project would remove approximately 00,78 square feet of existing commercial floor area and construct approximately 674,329 square feet of new residential and commercial floor area, resulting in a net increase of 573,548 square feet of net new floor area within the Project Site for a total floor area ratio of approximately 2.6 to.
