Public Hearing Held for Lighthouse Landing Mixed-Use Building Height Variance

The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing for Lighthouse Landing Communities LLC's application for a height variance for Block M at One Palisades Boulevard. The project proposes a six-story mixed-use condominium building with 92 dwelling units, retail, and restaurant space, requiring a variance for a proposed height of 68 feet, exceeding the 65-foot maximum. The applicant argued the three-foot increase is necessary for mechanical systems and appropriate ceiling heights, and that design refinements mitigate visual impact. The board discussed concerns about increased building height, neighborhood character, and comparisons with adjacent buildings like Block H. The public hearing was adjourned to the next meeting, April 15th, due to a lack of a unanimous preliminary decision.
