There is a large community of SFHs a few blocks north, but the immediate surroundings are mostly office park with some industrial. I know the city wants to hold on to its remaining industrial land, but are those manufacturing jobs honestly coming back? At the very least, the printing plant would be preserved as office space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939514266523110682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857633056849153171.post-65752792026844506062014-01-31T14:03:48.755-08:002014-01-31T14:03:48.755-08:00I also just looked and the property is one large p...I also just looked and the property is one large parcel. The marketing material says that the Seller will work with the MF buyer on the appropriate "lot line adjustments" but this will require a lot split, a much longer process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857633056849153171.post-54679334748551225702014-01-31T13:59:05.342-08:002014-01-31T13:59:05.342-08:00Hmm, since the property is zoned MR2-1 “Restricted...Hmm, since the property is zoned MR2-1 “Restricted Light Industrial Zone” and P-1 “Automobile Parking Zone”, a zone change will be needed to allow for multifamily. That won't be easy to obtain. The City is increasingly reluctant to change industrial land to residential since that usually means a loss of space used for good-paying jobs. This property is a little different in that it would convert parking lots but even so, getting multifamily residential in the ares is probably going to be a tough sell. Industrial users are loath to have residential neighbors since those neighbors are likely to complain about early morning noise and traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
