PUD Amendment – Under Armour Headquarters (PUD 146A), Locust Point
Recommended approval of Council Bill 26-0244, which amends PUD 146A on a little over 7 acres zoned IMU-1 (owner Shears Building, LLC; developer Mark Saperstein / 28 Walker Development). The amendment puts schools back on the prohibited-use list. It allows residential use in areas A, B, C, D, E and 7, raises the residential cap from 76 to 192, and permits about 122 townhouses up to 45 ft. It also removes the area E parking garage and limits Hobart Street vehicular access to Marriott Street. Domino Sugar (ASR) asked for STC 31-35 windows, balconies facing away from the refinery and a disclosure recorded in the land records. Two residents opposed the amendment; one supported it. The vote was 7-0 roll call, with Domino's issues noted for the Council.
- Include summary of Domino Sugar/ASR concerns (window soundproofing, balcony placement/partitions, recorded disclosure) in the record for City Council
