The new house dwarfs the nearby homes at 40' tall. At 70% lot coverage with parking, it has room for a yard. Pitched roofs over 5' side setbacks present safety challenges when snow falls from the elevated height. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/33d1f383-1493-44c8-9fa8-3a4d7bfad957/Gemini_Generated_Image_qq0luwqq0luwqq0l.png Infill in Residential Neighborhoods High-end modern multi-unit building with large glass windows and balconies, parking lot with three cars in front, no yard. Developers will face higher land values with zoning use changes, resulting in more high-end homes, not affordable ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/260dc634-85fc-4f67-953a-cce052c3ddae/Rogers+Park+tall+skinnies.jpeg Infill in Residential Neighborhoods Shipping Container Style Duplex with 70% lot coverage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/172e6296-1131-453e-adf1-1e47361b7f43/IMG_3580.JPG Infill in Residential Neighborhoods A 40 foot multi-family building that is completely out of scale with the neighboring homes.

What if the existing building was remodeled to add housing on the upper levels (and maybe a new patio bar)? These would probably be high end units based on the location and high redevelopment costs. https://www.thoughtfulhousinganchorage.com/tall-skinnies daily 0.75 2026-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/211b46d3-77ba-4ef0-896c-28bcdb6fb607/Ballard+tall+skinny.webp Tall Skinnies Modern multi-story house with beige and brown exterior siding, large windows, and a small wooden planter box in the front yard, set against a blue sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/614c6154-fa0d-41fd-b69e-bc17d95ff645/Screenshot+2026-07-09+at+4.17.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Tall Skinnies An aerial view of a residential neighborhood with various houses, trees, and parking lots, extending to a distant body of water and distant mountains under a blue sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a30699071e33a0c945b7b91/8bdbf5aa-ae1d-489c-9a15-d2b07c0d4bd3/Screenshot+2026-07-09+at+4.18.41%E2%80%AFPM.png Tall Skinnies Aerial view of a modern multi-story building with a flat roof, surrounded by trees and neighboring houses in an urban area.
