Document Description
The Railyards Lot 3 Project consists of a request for a minor modification to a previously approved project (DR21 -251). The request is to reduce the number of
residential units by 17, resulting in 319 total units and to eliminate the development of a retail building on an approximately 3.4-acre parcel within the Central Business District Zone and the Railyards Specific Plan. The project would reduce the number of residential units by lowering the east and west buildings from five-story and seven-story buildings, to two four-story buildings. The proposed two four-story buildings will each total 106,875 square-feet. The proposed retail building located at the southwest
corner of 5th Street and Telegrapher Ave will be replaced with a public plaza.
