The proposed redevelopment of two adjoining properties in downtown Silver Spring, one of which includes the vacant-but-historic Tastee Diner, will be reviewed by the Montgomery County Planning Board today, March 27, 2025, at 9:00 AM, at its Wheaton headquarters at 2425 Reedie Drive. Applicant 8676 Georgia Ave, LLC will present its site plan depicting the redevelopment of the assembled lot, 8676 Georgia Avenue. If approved, it would include a 312' high-rise apartment building with 493 residential units, 15.1% of which would be moderately-priced-dwelling-units (MPDUs). The building would also include 20,000-square-feet of retail and restaurant space, and would incorporate an adaptive reuse of the historic diner building. Planning staff are recommending approval of the site plan, with conditions including specific "green cover" environmental specifications related to the green roof and tree plantings, undergrounding of utilities, and construction of master-planned pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Nothing appears to be at scale in the first three renderings.
ReplyDeleteThey should build to the sky in that part of downtown. No residential neighboring the property.
