PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Modification to the previously approved Master Site
Plan and Preliminary Plat Approval, Site Plan Review for Blocks A and B of the Master Plan, Street Modification, and
Concurrence with the Sunset Area Planned Action EIS for a proposed mixed use development that would include
approximately 651 multi-family residential units and 38,900 square feet of commercial space located on a 10.8 acres site
at 2902 NE Sunset Blvd. The subject property would contain two mixed use buildings along the NE Sunset Blvd frontage,
referred to as Blocks A and B in the master plan, that would range between five and seven stories and up to approximately
70-feet in height. Blocks A and B would contain approximately 555 multi-family units, of which 277 units would be
affordable, and both buildings would contain ground floor commercial space. The subject property would also contain
approximately 96 fee-simple townhomes, referred to as Blocks C and D in the master plan, utilizing the unit lot
subdivision provisions. Residential density on the subject property would result in approximately 71 dwelling units per
net acre. The master plan site would contain approximately 1,024 parking spaces located within the mixed use buildings,
townhome units, and a 13-space surface lot. The existing Greater Hi-Lands Shopping Center would be removed. New
public street connections would be constructed providing access through the site. Private alleys are proposed for vehicle
access to townhome units. Street frontage improvements would be constructed along the site’s periphery. Proposed
drainage improvements include the use of bioretention planters and an underground infiltration facility. The applicant
proposes to remove the site’s 31 trees (13 significant trees) and replace with new trees within planter strips, street
frontage, and pedestrian oriented areas. The applicant has submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical Study,
Transportation Consistency Analysis, and Parking Analysis.
