More specifically, the proposed multifamily residential project includes 324-382 apartment units within a five-story, 258,000 square feet building that encompasses two (2) central courtyards. The majority of the parking would be provided within a six-level parking structure, along with secure bicycle storage, trash collection, and EV charging stations. Additional details of the proposed development can be found in the application and staff report.
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) and the Coliseum Central Master Plan (2015, as amended) both recommend mixed-use land use for the subject property.
