XL2 LLC has asked the city for zoning relief to combine seven lots at 2015 Frankford Ave into two lots. On those lots it would build two attached four-story buildings. Each building would hold ten apartments, for 20 new homes in total. The ground floor along Frankford Avenue would be medical or office space.

The records do not say what is on the site now. They also do not say who might occupy the commercial space.

No news coverage, developer project page, hearing notice or decision specific to this project was found online. This explanation therefore rests on the county planning record alone.

What it could mean nearby

Where it stands

A zoning relief request was on file with the county as of 2025-10-30. Such requests usually go to a zoning board hearing. If relief is granted, building permits and construction come next.

Want to weigh in? The city's Zoning Board of Adjustment normally decides requests like this. Residents can usually comment at its public hearing or through the local registered community organization.
