University Height Historic District South - New construction of four multi-family apartment buildings (B)
Petition HP-15-70. Ricardo Cavallino, agent for SHD Development. New construction of four multi-family apartment buildings. Located at 1109,1029, and 1021 SW 3rd Avenue. Continued from November 3, 2015 Historic Preservation Board Meeting.
Explanation
This project involves the construction of four new multi-family buildings on Parcels 13095-000-000, 13096-000-000, and 13098-000-000 (1109, 1029, and 1021 SW 3rd Ave.). Zoning for all parcels is RH2. Two of the buildings will be 3 stories in height. Building #1, which fronts SW 3rd Avenue, has been revised to 2 ½ stories per the Board’s recommendation. Building #4 will also be 2 ½ stories, in accordance with the Special Area Plan’s height regulation for new construction adjacent to contributing structures. The revised plans also address the Board’s comments regarding the south elevation of all of the buildings. The new structures are designed to be complimentary to the contributing structures. They replicate elements found in the historic district such as front porches, and utilize historic materials such as the chert fieldstone.
The staff recommendation is based on the City of Gainesville, Historic Preservation Rehabilitation and Design Guidelines - New Construction University Heights North & South
