Summary
The Planning & Zoning Advisory Board approved a site plan (UDPS24047) for five multifamily units with internalized parking and yard modifications at 1545 Southeast 15th Street after staff and architect presentations showed limited shadow and neighborhood impacts.
The Planning & Zoning Advisory Board voted to approve a siteplan (UDPS24047) for a five‑unit multifamily building at 1545 Southeast 15th Street.
Applicant representatives described a compact design with parking contained within the building envelope and conservatively sized units to match neighborhood scale. Architect Annette Hatcher told the board the proposal provides two parking spaces per unit with interiorized parking, new sidewalk and landscape improvements, and a shadow study showing limited impact on adjacent single‑family homes.
Board members generally praised the design for fitting the block’s existing pattern. "It looks like a pretty good plan to me," Commissioner Kevin Buckley said during the board discussion, and others noted design choices that hide garage massing and relocate mechanical equipment away from roofs.
The board adopted the resolution approving the site plan at roll call; conditions recommended by staff were included in the approval.
