DISTRICT AREA: 9 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The Applicant has submitted a project assessment for a proposed 0.8143 acre mixed use development to be known as the 311 – 315 South Congress Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed development area presently contains an automotive repair services use with 8 servicing positions and a 5,098 square foot, 2-story office building, and has four driveways to South Congress Avenue.
