783 Hope Street
Hope Street is a pedestrian-oriented urban main street. It is an
essential contributor to our neighborhood's character and appeal.
The walkable nature of the street and the unique, mom and pop
businesses located there help to make Summit Neighborhood such
a great place to live.
783 Hope Street was recently sold, and the old gas station building was
torn down. The developer intends to build retail and office space on
the site. However, the developer plans to build at the back of the lot,
with the maximum setback permitted by zoning, and locate a parking lot
in front.
This "suburban strip mall" style development is wholly out of
character with the rest of the street. There are no zoning
regulations to prevent this.
SNA has written the developer to ask that he reconsider his plans,
and move the building to the front of the lot. We have also
contacted the City, and local representatives, in search of
ways to encourage him.
We await a response, but stay tuned to this page for more information
and ways you may be able to help.
