Background and overview
In 2022 the City of Rochester approved a plan to construct a 23-space ancillary parking lot at 17 and 19 Harwood St and a 19-space ancillary
parking lot at 954 Monroe Av (42 spaces total) to serve the seven buildings at 17 and 19
Harwood St and 954, 962, 970, 976-982, 984-990 Monroe Avenue
The applicant (the property owner) also owns seven buildings within 1,000 feet of the proposed ancillary parking lot.
The proposed ancillary parking lot was intended to serve the residential uses at the principal buildings. The proposed
work scope included the demolition of an existing garage, installation of catch basins for storm water management,
resurfacing/restriping, walkway improvements, and screening.

Current concerns
Most construction has been completed since the application was approved. Some elements that have not been completed as approved have resulted in negative impacts to adjacent property owners. in addition, some aspects of the care and maintenance of the lot have also created significant negative impacts.
