The Petitioner is requesting an amendment of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from the designation of Residential – Suburban Single-family to Residential – General for the property at 29 East 67^th Street. The amendment is requested in association with a proposal to expand the existing multi-family housing development on the property. The site is within the Abercorn Heights/Lamara Heights National Historic Eligible District but is not within a locally protected historic district.

According to Plan 2040, the parcel is within the Urban Transitional Character Area where medium-high residential density is anticipated. The subject parcel is currently designated Residential – Suburban Single-family. This character area is identified by Plan 2040 for single-family detached residential dwellings at a density not to exceed five gross dwelling units per acre.  This category permits certain non-residential uses that are compatible with the residential character and scale of the neighborhood on a very limited basis. The recommended Residential - General character area is envisioned as suitable for areas with a wide range of residential uses including multi-family dwellings, attached dwellings, small lot single-family dwellings, and mixed-use with upper story residential at densities greater than ten units per gross acre. This category includes non-residential uses that are compatible with the residential character and scale of the neighborhood.

On July 9, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the FLUM amendment from Residential – Suburban Single-family to Residential – General.
