Application Type: Design Review & Planned Development

Project Location: 29 W 800 S & 846 S Richards Street.

Zoning District: D-2 Downtown Support District

Council District: D5, represented by Darin Mano

The Boyer Company, represented by Nicholai Lazarev, is seeking Design Review and Planned Development approval that would facilitate the redevelopment of 29 W 800 S and 846 S Richards Street. Both buildings will be residential in nature and while they are part of the same development, they will be reviewed separately.

The project area consists of five parcels with a developable area of 1.86 acres (81,000 SF). 29 W 800 S (Elliott North) contains three parcels (1.37 acres) and 846 S Richards Street (Elliott South) contains two parcels (.49 acres). The subject properties are located in the D-2 Downtown Support zoning district.

The project provides 283 units in the northern building and 62 units in the southern building. Both buildings have ground floor live/work units along Richards Street that will function as artist studio space. Ground floor retail is provided along 800 S and a midblock walkway runs along the southern property line of both sites.

The two buildings function as one development but will be reviewed independently for compliance with applicable standards. The applicant is requesting modifications to the D-2 zoning standards in section 21A.30.030 and the Design Standards in section 21A.37 for both buildings. The D-2 zoning district requires Design Review approval for buildings exceeding 65’ in height. The northern building is 93’ tall (8 stories) and the southern building is 83’ tall (7 stories). Additional modifications may be considered as part of the review process.
