Project Review and Discussion
1. Public Advisory Consultation (PAC) – 280 Green Street The Applicant proposes to demolish an existing 2 story structure to construct a 5 story approximately 12,250 square foot structure containing 9 dwelling units within the Residence C-3 base zoning district and the Central Square Overlay District. A Public Advisory Consultation (PAC) is required because the Central Square Overlay District is a designated Area of Special Planning Concern. The Public Advisory Consultation (PAC) will be held at a public meeting of the Central Square Advisory Committee (CSAC) per 19.43.3. As this is an advisory meeting, no formal approval from CSAC is required. City staff, members of the public, and CSAC will have the opportunity to make non-binding recommendations to the applicant. Ultimately, the Inspectional Services Department (ISD) is responsible for building permit approval subject to applicable regulations and procedures.
