terra002 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes currently that is a terrible location because of all the homeless. However, gentrification has to begin somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talltexan83 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is great news! I applaud them for taking the chance now. As others have mentioned, this area can feel overrun with homeless at times, but things can turn around quickly with a few more developments like this.

Note that while the existing structure slightly encroaches in to the right-of-way, the variance would allow the applicant to construct the third story expansion with a zero-foot building setback and no visibility triangle offset."

Luminare Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is wonderful news! I drove by this little guy just the other day. Its definitely in rough shape, but nothing a little TLC wouldn't hurt. With the type of demographic moving into the area this is a great fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
