The Zoning Committee approved a variance for a property at 1287 E. Fulton St. to allow the construction of a four-unit dwelling in an R-3 Residential District, which typically only permits single-unit residences. The request was filed by Nitzan Levi. The project required additional variances for a reduced lot width from 50 feet to 37.34 feet, the use of stacked parking, and relief from parking lot screening and landscaping requirements. The Near East Area Commission and City Departments both recommended approval, stating the project is consistent with the Near East Area Plan's design guidelines and the city's priority to increase housing supply. The approval is conditioned on substantial compliance with the site plan dated October 23, 2025, and building elevations dated October 30, 2025.
