Senior Housing at 7600 Parklawn
Summary
A developer wants to tear down an office building and put up two senior apartment buildings with 250-300 total units. That's way more density and height than the current zoning allows, so the big question is whether to grant variances or push the project into PUD zoning — which could unlock affordable housing and sustainability requirements.

Greco wants to replace an office building with two senior apartment buildings of 125-150 units each — a $100M+ project needing big height and density variances. Council liked the seven-story version but balked at 12 stories next to the park.
