We the undersigned residents of New Haven, CT request the City of New Haven, the City Plan Commission, Planning & Zoning, and City Plan to require public hearings for site plan and other reviews and to solicit community and expert input for any development proposed for 873, 887, and 897 Grand Avenue (near the intersection with Olive Street, partly previously occupied by Unger’s Flooring).
This is an important site that neighbors have been engaged with since 2019, creating planning studies, proposing appropriate zoning regulations, and meeting with City Plan staff and executive directors (past and present), Economic Development Administrator Piscitelli and staff, and Alder Cupo. Developing this site without neighborhood and expert input and before the completion of a cohesive plan for the entire area will be a missed opportunity with an impact that will last for decades.

Neighborhood input -- and comprensive planning for Grand Avenue -- is vital in these bonanza times for developers in New Haven and this is the most important parcel as it's at the entryway of the Grand Ave. thoroughfare,
Grand Ave is already a cramped and trafficked street. This large a structure must be designed so that it doesn’t cramped this strip and intersection.
Neighborhood input and consideration of the overall Grand Ave vision put forth by Economic Development are crucial to the success of this main commercial corridor. It is imperative that commercial be integrated with the design, not an afterthought.
I oppose this plan to build a 6 story building in the heart of an historic neighborhood that has buildings that do not exceed 4 stories in height. Let's keep Historic New Haven safe from this kind of development.
The size and type of development on this property will have a direct impact on homeowners on Lyon Street, especially to homeowners with yards directly adjacent to the planned buildings. The city of New Haven should be willing to receive input and take into consideration the interests of these property owners.
Important to solicit community input as this will have a large impact on the neighborhood.
I'm I favor of a 3 story apartment

As neighbors we are in favor of development - it just needs to be of an appropriate scale for the narrow heavily trafficked street we live on.
