The Louisville Planning Department approved with conditions a proposal for a 10-unit multifamily residential building at 1747 Portland Avenue. The project is located on a 0.23-acre parcel and will include 10 parking spaces. The applicant, Louisville Urban League, sought variances for a rear yard setback of 0 feet instead of the required 20 feet and for providing 10 parking spaces instead of the required 20. The Planning Department recommended approval with conditions, and the board voted 6-1 in favor. Conditions include adherence to building codes, submission and approval of landscaping and screening plans, clear marking and maintenance of the parking area, and commencement of construction within 12 months.
