Petition HP-19-00070. Elliot Larkin, Larkin Rentals II LLC, owner. Certificate of Appropriateness for new construction of two duplexes with an application for modification of the front setback and the first floor building height. Located at 516 NW 1st Street.

Project Description
The property is located at 516 NW 1st Street on the west side, with a zoning designation of DT (Downtown).

The project involves building one duplex on each lot, creating four dwelling units. The proposed duplexes will be non-contributing structures to the Pleasant Street Historic District.
