The developer is requesting a zoning change for the site, from an RS-2 to an RM-6, which would allow for additional density than is currently allowed under the RS-2 designation. The new zoning designation will require Creative Designs to set aside 10% of units in the building as affordable or to pay an in lieu of fee to a fund to build affordable units in other parts of the city. For 1233 W. Pratt Boulevard, the developer has agreed to keep the affordable units on-site and to set aside one additional unit as affordable in addition to what is required by ordinance.

how about making the 2nd floor more parking …yes you would loose lots of density but could use the extra parking as good perks for tenants and good p.r. heck while we’re being unrealistic add more 2 or 3 bedroom apts 😉 .
