The Jackson Design Review Committee convened on August 13, 2025, to discuss a significant mixed-use development project located at the corner of Earl Avenue and South Greenwood Street. The proposed structure will feature a total of 21 units, including 12 short-term rentals, 4 long-term rentals, and 1 deep-restricted unit, alongside 4 additional restricted housing units. The building will span approximately 35,957 square feet and rise three stories, with a maximum height of 42 feet.

The design incorporates a flat roof and a blend of materials, including ashlar stone, black metal paneling, and wood-look paneling, complemented by extensive window glazing. A covered walkway is planned along Pearl Avenue, enhancing pedestrian access, while landscaping features such as trees and grates will be installed along South Glenwood Street.

Brian Young from Access Architecture presented the project, highlighting the inclusion of a below-grade parking level with 24 stalls, as well as additional at-grade parking options. Young emphasized the importance of adhering to local design regulations and expressed a willingness to refine the design based on feedback from the committee.

The committee's review will continue as planning staff await the submission of the full development plan, which will trigger a comprehensive evaluation for compliance with local development regulations. The outcome of this project is expected to contribute significantly to the community by providing both residential and commercial spaces in a central location.
