"South Shore residents are up in arms over a proposed demolition of a two-family home that could be redeveloped into five multifamily homes under new City of Yes zoning regulations. Community leaders contend that a roughly 10,000-square-foot corner-lot property on Uncas Avenue and Alborn Road is being sized up for at least fivehomes."
"According to the city Buildings Department, the only permit filed for the property calls for the reallocation of one zoning lot and one tax lot into one zoning lot and five tax lots, which would allow for the construction of five homes on the site. A tax lot is a parcel of land identified for property tax purposes. A zoning lot is one or more adjacent tax lots within a block."
A roughly 10,000-square-foot corner lot at Uncas Avenue and Alborn Road could be redeveloped into five multifamily homes. The site is less than 230 feet wide and qualifies for higher-density development under City of Yes zoning amendments passed in late 2024. The lot is currently zoned R3X, which allows one- and two-family detached homes on lots at least 35 feet wide. City of Yes rules permit accessory dwelling units in backyards, basements, or garages, enabling multifamily designs. A Buildings Department permit filed Sept. 26 seeks to reallocate one zoning lot and one tax lot into one zoning lot and five tax lots. The permit is assigned to a plan examiner and lists Think Design A as the filing representative.
