Council committee advances two Neighborhood Enterprise Zone certificates for single-family infill homes
Summary
The committee recommended formal approval of two NEZ applications: a 15-year certificate for a new 1,600-sq.-ft. house at 3414 Harrison in North Corktown and 15-year certificates for two infill houses on Ashland in the Far East Side, part of an 8-unit shipping-container infill project.
The Budget, Finance and Audit Standing Committee voted to send two Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) certificate applications to formal consideration with recommendations to approve.
The first petition, for 3414 Harrison in North Corktown (District 6), proposes a 1,600-square-foot, two-story single-family house with an estimated construction cost of about $300,000 and a 15-year NEZ certificate. LPD/CPC staff described the lot as vacant and said the petitioner plans an energy-efficient prefabricated house with three bedrooms and on-street parking because the lot is narrow.
“Staff has recommended approval, and the resolution has been submitted for your consideration,” CPC/LPD staff Chris Gulak told the committee. Members had no further questions; the committee voted to send the NEZ resolution to formal session with a recommendation to approve.
The second petition covers two lots at 2966 and 2970 Ashland on the Far East Side (District 4). The applicant, Andrew Creamer of Nova Development Group, proposes two single-family houses as part of an eight-unit infill project using shipping-container design. LPD staff said two units are already built and earlier approvals covered two units in 2022; these two applications were resubmitted after a processing delay at the assessor’s office. Proposed unit sizes range from about 700 to 970 square feet, with estimated construction costs of roughly $175,000–$200,000, and detached garages off the alley for parking.
LPD staff recommended approval and the committee voted—with no objections—to forward the resolution to formal session with a recommendation to approve.
