The Kirkwood City Council on Thursday, Jan. 7, entertained a hearing for a proposed three-unit, multi-family development at 144 W. Adams Ave.
Director of Planning and Development Jonathan Raiche informed the council that, while multi-family is a permitted use in a B-2 business district where the site is located, the 100 block of West Adams was previously declared a required commercial area. If the project is approved, staff would first need to draft a separate proposal to remove that requirement.
The 6,300-square-foot lot could allow up to five units based on density requirements; however, only three units are proposed. The site plan shows a two-car, ground-level garage planned for each unit, as well as a rooftop garden with trees and other plantings.
