Commission rejects proposed infill at 1220 Rosa Parks, citing inappropriate house form and massing
Summary
Staff recommended disapproval of a proposed mixed house/industrial infill at 1220 Rosa Parks in Germantown; the commission voted to adopt that recommendation after staff and commissioners criticized the house form, roof complexity and scale relative to neighboring contributing structures.
The Metro Historic Zoning Commission voted to disapprove a proposed infill project at 1220 Rosa Parks Boulevard after staff said the proposal did not meet multiple Germantown overlay design guidelines.
Staff told commissioners the lot falls in a development zone intended for larger, non-historic building types and that the proposed house form and a complex roof failed to meet sections addressing building type, massing, setbacks and roof form. "Staff recommends disapproval of the proposed infill," the staff presenter said in the commission's staff report.
