Mandel shows the unique M1-1 pocket in the neighborhood, with the nine-story Denizen Building across the street (built 2019 from the Rheingold rezoning) making truck operations unsafe on the 50-foot-wide Melrose Street. The business has relocated 24 employees to a warehouse at 6 Stanwix with proper loading facilities.
They've been tremendous partners in helping to shape this project into what we believe is a really, is a benefit to the community.
We look forward to the ongoing dialogue with the council person, her staff, and the community.

As known on the slide,
The project area is comprised of three tax lots, which are owned by our client, two families that not only own the site, but have been active members of the business community in this neighborhood for at least 17 years.
The rezoning area is comprised of actually five tax lots.
Three of the tax lots are proposed to be developed.
The two other tax lots are not proposed to be developed.
They're occupied by two non-conforming residential uses.
Two three-story multifamily houses, buildings that is.
The rezoning area measures about 11,300 square feet.
And as I mentioned, three of the five tax lots are proposed to be redeveloped.
Those three tax slots measure about 20 feet in width each, totaling a lot of about 6,300 square feet.
The current zoning is M11.
Next slide, please.
As I previously mentioned, the proposed rezoning area is comprised of five tax lots.
In addition to the rezoning from M11 to a proposed M1, from M11 to an M1-2A slash R6A, which is an MX district, we're also proposing a zoning tax amendment to map all five tax lots
within the MIH area.
I mentioned before that three of the tax lots are owned by the two families, the applicant team.
Of those three, one lot is occupied by a two-story building.
