9076 Holman Rd. N.W.

This project is currently under review by the Department of Planning and Development to allow a four-story building in Crown Hill containing a little more than 5,000 square feet of commercial space and eight live-work units at ground level with 116 residential units above. Parking for 136 vehicles to be provided within the structure at and below grade. The location is on the south side of the street between 13th and 14th avenues northwest and adjacent to the Crown Hill Urban Village. Existing structures on the lot are to be demolished.

The area is zoned Commercial with a 40 foot height limit.

A related permit calls for the construction of a four-story building with 96 residential units and three live-work units above grade and one level below grade to provide parking for 102 vehicles.

The project has gained the attention of the Crown Hill Neighbors because the development will be directly across Holman Road from the proposed Crown Hill Park at the current Crown Hill School Site.

Some concerns include: Impacts on parking, traffic, pedestrians and noise. Will the developers of the project be providing pedestrian friendly enhancements like pocket parks, separation from Holman Road, street trees, etc?

6401 32nd Ave. N.W.

An early design guidance meeting was held in late October for this project that seeks to redevelop the site that currently houses the Sunset Hill Greenmarket.

Several schemes were presented by the firm Johnston Architects. Scheme one calls for leaving the current building untouched and building a new structure set back 10 feet. Scheme two attaches a new structure to the existing building. Scheme three would tear down the existing structure and replace it with an entirely new building.

It would include accessory parking.

The current building is two stories and about 28 feet in height. The zoning on that block would allow for at least 34-foot-tall buildings.

At the meeting, the public expressed a love for the food supply store, also known as the "Green Grocer," though no specific affinity for the building that houses it.

According to the developer, it is important that the Green Grocer be able to remain at the location no matter what scheme is chosen.
