The apartment tower proposed for the Goll House site on Milwaukee's east side, delayed by density concerns, may not need to reduce a lot of apartments in order to obtain city zoning approval.
I reported Monday that Department of City Development officials have expressed those concerns about Madison developer Chris Houden's proposed 202-unit luxury apartment tower at the site of the Goll House, 1550 N. Prospect Ave.
Around 60 nearby residents, at a recent community meeting, said they were concerned about the effects on traffic from Houden's proposed 26-story apartment building. Houden, in response, is modifying the building's design to obtain Common Council approval.
But it turns out that the property's zoning allows a building with 186 apartments without council approval, according to the Department of City Development. That unit count is calculated in part by taking into account the development site's square footage.
If Houden's new design has 186 apartments, that would amount to an 8% reduction in the unit count.
