Commission approves six-unit infill at 311 Comstock with standard site conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a major site plan for a three‑story six‑unit apartment building at 311 Comstock, replacing a single‑family structure; the project met SEQR negative declaration and was approved with standard conditions including on-site snow storage and site improvements.
The commission approved a major site plan for 311 Comstock (MASPR-25-32), a project that will demolish a 2½-story single-family structure and construct a three-story, six-unit apartment building accessed via a rear easement from Harrison Street. Jared McCormack of DM Architectural presented the design and said the proposal meets zoning density and bulk requirements.
Staff reviewed the EAF parts and recommended a negative SEQR declaration. The commission adopted the negative declaration and approved the site plan with two conditions: compliance with general major site-plan conditions and on-site snow storage in designated areas so snow will not encroach into the public right-of-way.
Commissioners noted the project will add rental housing to an infill site and that access through the existing rear easement was acceptable subject to standard public-safety and site-improvement conditions. The approval is contingent on the applicant meeting the listed site-plan requirements and completing filing and permitting steps.
