259 Broadway Addition and Fifth Unit (Docket 3915)

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names, numbers and addresses may be misheard.

What: an egress-stair addition and interior renovation of a non-conforming multi-family building at 259 Broadway, adding a fifth unit, demolishing the detached garage, and reducing required parking from five to three spaces.
Where it stands: approved October 19 with the site plan review memo of 10/15 and a condition that the bylaw-required number of street trees be provided (possibly on the lot) and approved administratively. This is a scaled-back return to the original concept after a taller version proved too costly.
Board comments: fence must step down near the street, native plantings, outdoor lighting off by about 10 p.m., and the mismatch between new cement-board siding and existing vinyl was accepted in phases.

2026-10-19 - Redevelopment Board - Approved with conditions on street trees and the site plan review memo.
