The Office of Planning provided a report on February 28, 2014.  At its public meeting on March 10, 2014, the Zoning Commission voted to set the application down for a public hearing.  The Applicant provided its prehearing statement on August 14, 2014.

The overall FAR for the PUD will be 4.14 where an FAR of 8.0 is permitted and the overall lot occupancy for the project will be 45% where 100% is permitted.  Phase I of the PUD consists of a ten-story residential tower containing approximately 181,911 square feet, generating approximately 218 dwelling units, an underground parking garage with approximately 67 spaces and approximately 44 surface parking spaces.
