The applicant is requesting an amendment to Subchapter 35.7.5, Fry Street Overlay District that would establish a new subarea within the Fry Street Overlay District on approximately 1.7 acres between Fry Street and Avenue B. The proposed subarea would accommodate a five-story mixed use development. Based on the information provided by the applicant, the project would be 58 feet in height, include retail uses on the ground floor and multifamily uses above, a total of 83 dwelling units (300 bedrooms), and 222 off-street parking spaces.
The Fry Street Overlay District is currently broken into two subareas, A and B. The U Center at Fry Street is located in subarea B which was an amendment to the Fry Street Overlay District approved by City Council in 2010 to accommodate that development's density and height.
