Planning commission approves condominium plat amendment for Heritage Lane commercial plaza
Summary
The Syracuse Planning Commission voted to approve a 0.4-acre condominium plat amendment at 1759 West 1700 South submitted by Elite Craft Homes, allowing the six ground-floor commercial units to be sold individually to meet lender requirements.
The Syracuse Planning Commission on July 15 approved a plat amendment requested by Elite Craft Homes that converts a mixed-use building footprint at approximately 1759 West 1700 South into a condominium plat, enabling individual ownership of units.
The amendment covers roughly 0.4 acres in the PRD/MXD zoning area and would split the project into individual unit-lots so the six commercial spaces on the building’s ground floor can be sold separately. Tanner Preston, an agent for Elite Craft Homes, told the commission the bank financing the project required the amendment so the developer would have the option to sell the commercial units rather than leave the site undeveloped.
City planning staff said the submittal met staff comments. The developer described the project as mixed-use: 24 residential units on the two floors above and six commercial shell units on the main floor that would be finished to suit incoming tenants. Preston said the developer currently intends to retain and rent the residential units but wants flexibility to lease or sell the commercial spaces if needed.
Commissioners asked about parking, permitted uses and whether the amendment would make all units individually ownable; staff and the applicant confirmed the plat would create individual condominium units for both residential and commercial spaces and noted typical permitted and conditional uses for the zone would still apply. The staff recommendation was for approval.
A motion to approve the Heritage Lane Commercial Plaza condominium plat amendment carried after a motion and second; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
