Re: Stonefield Block C2-1
Special Exception — Residential Units
The purpose of the Special Exception is to request the transfer of 73 allotted residential units at
Stonefield from Block E to Blocks A through D. The transfer of the allotted units will permit for
the construction of a new 112 unit residential building on Block C2-1.
The Land Use Table (Table 1) on Page 48 of the Code of Development for Stonefield establishes
the maximum number of allowable residential units within the designated blocks. Blocks A
through D have a designated maximum of 475 allowable residential units. Block E has a
designated maximum of 450 allowable residential units. A chart is provided below displaying
the number of residential units that have been constructed/approved and the units remaining for
Blocks A through E at this time.

There are 39 remaining residential units allocated for Blocks A through D. As initially stated we
are requesting the transfer of 73 residential units from Block E to Blocks A through D to allow
for the construction of a new 112 unit residential building on Block C2-1. We offer the
following justification for this request:
The construction of a residential component at this location with the proximity to the
existing commercial uses meets the intent of the Code of Development and the
neighborhood model.

2. The proposed residential building will offer uniformity and compliment the height of the
existing and soon to be construction buildings at the intersection of Bond Street and
District Ave.
3. The total number of residential units are necessary to obtain the proper size for business
operational and development purposes.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding this request.
Sincerely,
