Apr 10, 2026

The board granted a variance for a 4‑foot elevator bulkhead above the permitted height to allow a 12‑unit mixed‑use building with retail and rooftop green space at 423–429 Commerce Street in the Hawthorne Hamlet District; planning board supported the project and a traffic/sight‑distance study was submitted.

The project aligns with the Hamlet form‑based code but requires a variance for an elevator bulkhead height above the 50‑foot limit.
