Board approves Conditional Use Permit for 153 J Street adaptive reuse to three units
Summary
The Planning Board approved Conditional Use Permit No. 0082 to convert an existing structure at 153 J Street into a three‑unit multiunit dwelling with conditions including refuse storage out of the public right of way and a certificate of appropriateness requirement.
Chris Ellis, chair, called the hearing for Conditional Use Permit No. 0082 at 153 J Street. The applicant sought adaptive reuse of an existing building (2,516 square feet) into a 6,233‑square‑foot multiunit dwelling containing three dwelling units.
Planning staff again classified the application as a Type II SEQR action and noted the application had been referred to the county planning board with a recommendation to defer to local consideration. Staff confirmed the applicant is coordinating with historic‑preservation staff on certificates of appropriateness and that refuse/recycling will be stored away from the public right of way.
The board moved and seconded to approve the conditional use permit with the stated conditions: refuse/recycling stored outside the public right of way and not visible from the sidewalk; a certificate of appropriateness must be provided before issuing any building permit involving exterior work; and an agreement with the city or corporation counsel is required for any encroachments into the public right of way. The motion carried unanimously.
