68 Willow Rd.

The Planning Commission approved an application, submitted by 68 Willow Owner, LLC, for architectural control, use permit, below market rate housing agreement and environmental review to redevelop the 2.5-acre site located at 68 Willow Road. The Project is located in the C-1 (Administrative and Professional, Restrictive) zoning district and the project site is currently developed with an existing office building which will be demolished. The project consists of construction of eight new three-story residential townhome buildings totaling 50 housing units. The project includes a major subdivision to subdivide the property into 50 condominium parcels for individual sale and one common area parcel. Eight of the units will be Below Market Rate (BMR) units to comply with the City’s BMR requirements.

The Project will be developed using the State Density Bonus Law, which allows developers to ask for waivers from development standards to allow for the project to achieve the proposed density. The project includes waivers from C-1 residential development standards to reduce the minimum front, left side and right-side setbacks, increase the maximum floor area ratio (FAR), modify the building profile requirement, modify building projection requirements, increase the allowed percentage of stucco siding, and decrease the minimum parking stall dimensions. In addition to waivers, the project includes one concession to increase the maximum parking ratio for residential uses in the C-1 district. The overall project includes:

Total dwelling units: 50
Total proposed gross floor area: 108,856 square feet
Proposed building height: Approximately 41 feet
Total parking spaces: 82
