Developers propose 68 townhome condominiums for eastern DePaul Hospital parcel on Granby Street

Staff presented a conditional rezoning and conditional‑use permit application from Stanley Martin Homes LLC for 6303 Granby Street (the eastern half of the former DePaul Hospital). The proposal calls for 68 condominium/townhome units arranged in clusters with five amenity areas (playground/pergola, grilling/fire‑pit area, walking paths with landscaping, and a community garden), two primary entrances (shared senior‑care driveway and Kingsley Avenue), and a plan to preserve mature trees where feasible.

Staff noted the site lies in a multifamily/conditional district where development over 24 units requires a CUP; the applicant provided elevations and design guidelines and proffered material standards (fiber‑cementitious siding, no vinyl). Price guidance discussed briefly placed expected sale prices in the mid‑$400,000s to low‑$500,000s range for some units, but staff emphasized workforce/affordability proffers were not required and that developers can coordinate with the housing department to explore subsidies.

Commissioners asked about traffic access, the compatibility with the 'next steps to success' rezoning on the adjacent parcel, tree preservation, and whether residents could use nearby tennis courts. Staff said civic‑league outreach had occurred and that design guidelines would be adopted by the condominium owners’ association.

No formal vote was recorded in the transcript for a final decision; staff indicated materials and design guidelines would be part of the staff report for future action.
