Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1603, 1611, and 1615 Broadway at the intersection of Newell Avenue and Broadway Street. The applicant is seeking variances from the "RIO DN" River Improvement Overlay Development Node regulations that allow a maximum of 10 stories and a 120 feet maximum in height and from the Development Node regulations that currently would limit the height of the proposed structure to 15 stories at a total of 180 feet to allow for the construction of a new high-rise building being 20 stories tall at 260 feet in height. The applicant states that the subject property is currently underutilized and vacant; the proposed development is a mixed-use project consisting of a hotel and office use with structured parking and retail on the ground floor. The proposed development has been reviewed by a Historic and Design Review committee on March 13, 2018 and on April 11, 2018, and again on May 2, 2018. At the most recent hearing, the Historic and Design Review Commission considered the requests and recommended approval.
