A developer’s plan to convert a Rocky Hill office building into a mixed-use residential complex has been approved.
The Rocky Hill Planning and Zoning Commission at its last meeting approved the site plan application by Hamden-based JMM Properties LLC and principal Joseph Moruzzi to convert his 2-acre parcel with a 50,000-square-foot building at 1344-1360 Silas Deane Highway, Route 99, into some office space and 59 apartments, 10% of which would be affordable.
The developer, Diversified Unlimited LLC, will turn the upper parking deck and first two floors of the five-story building into a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. The top floor will remain office space.
Applicants sought a text amendment last year to allow the mixed-use because of the decrease in demand for large office space, attorney Eric Parker for the applicant said.Â
