1019 Park Street plan would add up to 12 apartments; parking to rely on municipal options
Summary
The adaptive-reuse concept would convert upper floors to residential use for as many as 12 units; the site has no on-site parking and Thompson said the planning department and James Street Garage capacity would be considered for resident parking or possible parking-in-lieu options.
The applicant said the proposal would create up to 12 residential units by reconfiguring the existing upper floors and adding a modest rooftop level. "It would create a new housing opportunity up to 12 new units in the building," Joseph Thompson said, noting the stacking of units along exterior walls to provide window exposure and interior corridors for circulation.
Commissioners asked whether residents would have on-site parking. Thompson said the building is a zero-lot-line property with no on-site parking and that the project team is coordinating with the planning department on options; he cited the James Street Garage as a potential resource. Thompson described possible paths including a waiver or variance and reference to parking-in-lieu text if applicable, but no final parking approach was specified during the meeting.
