The Planning Commission approved a land development plan to consolidate two parcels at 1257 and 1259 Walnut Street and build a three‑story, six‑unit multifamily building with associated site improvements.

Staff explained this is the second‑phase land‑development component following earlier zoning relief and recommended conditions addressing tree pits at the frontage, granite or acceptable concrete curb options, and permeable surfaces to meet green‑infrastructure goals. Applicant Arthur Jefferson confirmed ownership and agreed to work with staff on alley access and tree selections. Commissioners emphasized material choices and compatibility with the block; the motion to approve the plan with the staff conditions carried by voice vote.

The approval includes required coordination on stormwater and final curb/tree details during permit review.
