Edgewater developer seeks two additional studios and parking changes; planning board sets hearing, refers special permit to council

Scenic Beacon Developments presented an amendment to the previously approved Edgewater project to reconfigure unit mix and parking onsite. Counsel said the site would remain within the city's maximum unit cap (proposed 248 units where 252 is permitted) and that the project would add two studio units and a net nine bedrooms (bringing the bedroom total to 359). Proposed parking would include 321 off‑street spaces once subsurface and surface additions are built; the developer explained relocation of some land‑bank spaces and proposed 29 new surface and eight new subsurface spaces.
