AP 24-0284 — 834 Cedar Street

Description

The revised modern home with a rooftop deck was approved after a second hearing, with a condition to verify the alley-side setback and possibly shift the footprint for a six-foot south side yard.

Impact summary

A large new house rises on a narrow lot; neighbors get added setback protection only if staff confirms the strip beside it is not a city alley.
