Zoning has been approved for a three-story residential building located at 4626 N Malden Street in Sheridan Park. Malden Development LLC is the listed applicant, whose plans include eight total units, a rooftop deck, and parking for seven vehicles split between a five-car garage and two open parking spaces. The Zoning Board of Appeals approved three variances that allowed the project plans to proceed. These included reducing the rear yard open space from 520 square feet to zero, reducing the minimum lot area from 8,000 square feet to 7,721 square feet, and reducing the number of required parking spaces from eight to seven.

I lived on the 4500 block of Malden, south of Wilson. It is a very nice street filled with historic residential buildings and homes. Although adding density is better than a vacant lot, it’s sad to see yet another crap box being built with zero architectural integrity.
If you have a better design that costs the same, I’m sure the developer would love to hear from you.
