2020/10/14 Council Agenda Packet

EVALUATION FOR AGENCY USE ONLY The proposal would develop single-family residences along Norton Ave., multi -family along Grand Ave., and design the entire site to the standards of the historic context. This would be compatible with the historic character of the neighborhood. Housing Hope intends to respect the existing historic context of the Norton -Grand neighborhood through continuing community inclusion in the design process and collaborating with the Historic Commission to design a project that meets the spirit of the historic neighborhood. It is anticipated that the proposed development could be an example of successful use and adaptation of the Norton -Grand Historic Overlay zone in an area where newer development and/or multi -family housing often lacked integration with the historic neighborhood. The conceptual site plan depicts seven detached single-family residences along Norton Avenue, which would include historic characteristics such as front porches, pitched roofs with decorative eaves, and cottage or story -and -a -half massing The four multi- family structures are proposed as three stories, with the third story at multi -family townhomes building as a daylight basement open parkmg garage where existing site grades allow. Similar to the proposed SFR along Norton Ave., historic features such as front stoops or porches, pitched roofs and decorative eaves would be emphasized. Other historic overlay zone criteria such as steep sloping roofs, vertically proportioned fenestration, traditional siding materials and historic building colors would be accommodated in the design and included as project requirements in the Development Agreement. A Development Agreement is proposed for the entire site to ensure that historic design features and project components enhance and compliment the neighborhood 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a.
