Commission approves SPUD amendment at 7654 (ground-floor commercial replaced by residential)
Summary
The commission approved a SPUD amendment to remove ground-floor commercial allowances at a Center City-area site (7654) and convert the building to full residential use; staff said density and impervious coverage remain consistent with the earlier approval.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a SPUD amendment that removes ground-floor commercial uses and converts the structure at the site (parcel referenced as 7654) to full residential use.
Staff said the change does not alter the previously approved density or the SPUD designation; the project still proposes a dense, mixed building with 6 units on each of two floors and the third floor serving common space. Justin Fisher of the planning department noted the site sits in a core urban-high area adjacent to Center City form-based code but not inside it, and that the updated site plan reduced or kept impervious coverage at an acceptable level.
Applicant Sean Reager said the modifications are minor and do not change the overall density or character previously approved. Commissioners moved to approve the amendment; the vote carried 7–0.
What happens next: Staff will record the commission recommendation and the item goes to the City Council per the standard review process.
