Description
The developer of the Aurora on Eastern Avenue has
proposed an amendment to the approved Optional Method project known as the
Galaxy on the adjoining CBD-1 property, also located
within the South Silver Spring Overlay District.
(Both projects are illustrated on the graphic at
top left.) The revised project includes 241 dwelling
units, 3663 square feet of retail and 25,816 square feet of on-site public use
space. The applicant will also construct
a significant number of public parking spaces pursuant
to an agreement with Montgomery County that enables
the developer to include Parking Lot 16 within the
new project. The proposed heights of the buildings
in the revised Galaxy project would range from 45' along Eastern
Avenue to 75' to the north.
