PROJECT SUMMARY

Paramount Construction, owners of 346 Joncaire, propose a subdivision of the property to create new lots for development of four new construction duplexes.  The zoning for the property is R2-H.  A duplex is an allowable use by-right.  The minimum lot size per unit in R2-H is 750 square feet.  Thus, a lot size of 1,500 square feet would be needed for an as-of-right duplex. The owners are proposing subdivided lots that would each be in excess of 1,500 square feet.  Each building would have integral off-street parking. 

Tom Chunchick from Paramount presented the project at the virtual Oakland-Wide meeting on May 26, 2020.

The Planning Commission approved a subdivision of the property at its October 26, 2021 meeting. An Oakland resident filed an appeal of Planning’s decision. The Zoning Board of Adjustment determined the project complies with the Codes’s requirement for street frontage at the ZBA meeting on January 20, 2022.
