Commission approves Greystar final plan for 277-unit project; staff flagged compact-parking percentage and landscaping conditions
Summary
The commission approved the final development plan for a 277-unit multifamily project with a coffee shop at 4540 N. Commerce St.; staff noted that 80 compact parking spaces account for 21% (exceeding the 15% maximum) and required landscaping and mature trees to be provided at building-permit submittal.
The Planning Commission approved Greystar Development West LLC’s final development plan for a 277-unit multifamily development with an on-site coffee shop at 4540 North Commerce Street.
Staff told commissioners the FDP is consistent with the previously approved PUD but listed conditions that must be addressed at building permit stage, including a landscaping plan showing four mature trees (36-inch box) adjacent to the northern property line and correcting the compact-space ratio: "The site plans currently show 80 compact parking spaces accounting for 21% of the overall parking. This exceeds the allowable maximum of 15%," staff said. Liz Olson, representing the applicant, said the mural artwork and tenant leases will address aesthetics and tenant awareness about nearby Craig Regional Park and events.
Commissioners expressed support for the infill housing and the artist installations, and they moved to approve the FDP with staff conditions; Commissioner Menzies moved the motion and it passed by voice vote. Staff said the parking and landscaping issues will be finalized during the building-permit review and that the development should assist area housing needs without adverse impacts on surrounding properties.
Conditions are listed in the staff report and must be met before final action and occupancy permits are issued.
