Description: Impact Advisory Group (IAG) meeting to discuss the Planned Development Area (PDA) document that was filed on January 7, 2019 in association with the Dock Square Garage proposed project. The Proponents propose to construct an approximately 220,000 sf, seven- (7-) story vertical addition to the existing building, and add another approximately 30,000 sf of residential space to the lower floors by a combination of horizontal expansion and conversion of the parking area. The current height is 7 stories at 76 feet and the seven story addition will bring the building height up to 14 stories and 160 feet. The Project will contain up to 250 multifamily residential units, and reduce the current 698 publicly available garage parking spaces to up to 650 spaces, some of which will be made available for occupants of the residential units included in the Project. The garage will also be redesigned to accommodate valet services and mechanical lifts. Please note that the purpose of this meeting is different than that of a traditional community meeting. As part of the development review process, IAG members work closely with BPDA staff to identify the impacts of a project and recommend appropriate community benefits to offset those impacts. IAG meetings prioritize discussion between the project proponent (i.e. the developer) and IAG members.
