The proposal for the site is a mixed-use commercial building with Industrial on level 1 to 2 and Office on level 3 to 6, with:

• A building height of 100.0 ft.;
• A density of 4.50 FSR (gross buildable of 54,591 SF);
• Two levels of underground parking providing 53 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing I-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
