Public hearing on 443 Broadway continued to July 9 after applicant clarifies unit counts and affordable‑unit placement
Summary
The HRB continued the public hearing for a multi‑unit project at 443 Broadway to the July 9 meeting after the applicant clarified plans (now showing eight units) and the board requested drawings clearly labeling the affordable unit and addressing window/frame color and height/zone issues.
The board continued the public hearing for the 443 Broadway site‑plan application to the July 9 meeting to allow the applicant to submit clarified plans. The applicant said the current submission shows eight units (after prior discussion of seven), and the board examined which unit could qualify as the required affordable unit. The board and applicant discussed basement unit sizes and whether those units meet the 80% income/size requirement for an affordable designation; the applicant indicated the affordable unit would be on the first floor where it meets requirements.
Board members asked the applicant to resubmit floor plans that label the affordable unit clearly and to confirm window and frame colors (the board noted earlier concerns about black frames). The chair and planning staff advised that the applicant should submit the revised drawing set to the building department before the next meeting so the board can consider the clarified submission.
Because the applicant is revising number and labeling of units and some plan sheets changed, the board voted to continue the hearing to give the applicant time to provide a concise set of updated plans for review and to ensure the building department and other reviewers have consistent documents.
