Impact analysis
Reinvests a vacant downtown building; parking reduction from 21 to 15 spaces saves the developer significant cost.
Future tenants (especially Berry employees) and the neighborhood gaining an infill redevelopment.
Potentially the neighboring Melmar Commercial tenants if apartment parking overflows onto their lot.
