DERC refers adaptive-reuse proposal (D23-19) for four residential units to Planning Commission
Summary
The committee voted to forward Development Permit D23-19, an adaptive-reuse project at 975 North East Street to convert an office building into four residential units with new covered parking, to the Planning Commission for consideration on April 8, 2025.
The Development and Environmental Review Committee on March 12 referred Development Permit D23-19 to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and final action on April 8, 2025. The proposal would convert an existing commercial office building of about 2,430 square feet at 975 North East Street into four residential units and construct new covered parking described in the transcript as 819 square feet on a parcel transcribed as 0.15 acres.
Shantel (presenting staff) described the application as an adaptive reuse and said the project was categorically exempt under the code citation provided in the meeting (the transcript rendered the exemption reference unclearly). Michael Gonzales, planning-division staff who presided over the meeting, asked whether any committee members had questions; none were recorded. A motion to forward the permit to the Planning Commission was made, seconded and approved by the committee.
The transcript lists the proposed unit sizes as "approximately 600 to 7 square feet" (as spoken), but specific, consistent unit square footage was not specified in the meeting record. Staff identified the Planning Commission meeting on April 8, 2025, as the next step for final review and public comment. The committee's action was a referral; it did not grant final permits or approvals.
