Board continues Woodbine Street mixed-use application after demolition and missing details
Summary
Christopher Torres' application for a mixed-use building at 633 Woodbine Street was continued to Aug. 17 after the board found the demolition of the prior structure changed the application scope and left parking and use specifics unresolved.
The Zoning Hearing Board continued application 2645 (633 Woodbine St.), filed by Christopher De Jesus Torres, to its Aug. 17 meeting after finding the application incomplete. The applicant had demolished the prior structure for safety reasons, which changed the case from a reuse of an existing building to new construction and raised questions about whether the first-floor use sought (a "personal services" special exception) or an office would be permitted.
Board members and planning staff pressed the applicant for greater specificity about the intended personal services use, off-street parking counts and whether nearby property he owns could satisfy parking requirements. The board advised the applicant to return with clarified use, parking commitments and plans; Torres agreed to continue the application to August so he can provide the additional documentation.
