Cincinnati City Council's Economic Development Committee will consider today a rezoning that could allow six new condominium units to beuilt across from the intersection of Monastery and Oregon streets (BIRD'S EYE) in Mount Adams.
Developer Metropolitan Design and Development (Metropolitan) is proposing a building of attached units that begins at a height of 35 feet but then decreases as the elevation increases, thereby preserving views from farther up the hill.
To build the project, Metropolitan needs the property to be rezoned to RM-0.7 Residential Multi-Family, which would allow for their multi-unit building with only one curb cut and lower-level parking.
Current zoning on the six-lot site is SF-2 Single Family, which would only allow for five single-family homes with five curb cuts.
The proposed development has the support of the Mount Adams Civic Association, the Hillside Trust, and the City Planning Commission.
Metropolitan purchased the quarter-acre property last August for $205,000.
They have recently built condominiums in the neighborhood at 1236-1238 Elsinore Avenue and at the Hill Street Estates, 953-955 Hill Street.
