Item # I DISCUSSION REGARDING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS FOR 2517 WEST
76TH STREET (HRA MEMO NO. 6)
Assistant Community Development Director Barton discussed the revisions to a development
proposal for 2517 West 76t Street. Revisions included reducing the-number of units proposed for the
site, and increasing garage sizes to include two spaces for each unit.
Representatives from the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) worked with City
staff to make changes within the zoning requirements and to make sure the design fits well with
existing homes in the neighborhood.
Commissioner Elliott stated he was pleased with the new design making the garages less
prominent.
Chair Supple questioned the energy efficiency of the proposal.
Julia Spencer, representative from GHMC, stated that the building will be built above
standards but they don't always have the buildings certified as "energy efficient" due to the costs of
certification.
