A developer is proposing to build 43 small business rental units in the last undeveloped tract on Sanrico Drive in Manchester, town records show.
The developer, operating as Sanrico Associates LLC, has filed an application with the town to construct 43 bays in three buildings on the 5.2 acre industrial site at 58 Sanrico Dr.
An inland wetlands permit is required for development in the area, which is home to Manchester Tobacco & Candy Co., kitchen/cabinet store Specialty Shop Inc. and a distribution facility owned by furnishing chain HomeGoods.
The developer is seeking other project permits as well.
The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to discuss the application after a public hearing on Monday at 7 p.m.
According to the application, the small business rental units will be split across three separate buildings spanning over 43,000 square feet.
Each of the proposed units would contain 1,000 square feet with an overhead door and two external parking spaces. In total, the development would include over 60 parking spaces.
The application says the units would be best suited for a wide variety of tenants, including electricians, plumbers, carpenters, home-improvement contractors, roofers, painters, woodworkers, graphic artists, or as a base for office and other materials storage.
The site is located near the Hop River State Park Trail.
