The latest proposal to turn the Painted Bride into a mixed-use development was met with pushback from neighborhood stakeholders during a Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing on Wednesday. 

Revised plans for the property at 230-236 Vine St. call for 85 short-term residences, a ground-floor restaurant, underground parking and two roof decks — one for the residences and one for the restaurant. The roof deck was the reason for developer Atrium Design Group’s appearance in front of the Zoning Board and was also the main point of contention. 

At the hearing, four neighborhood property owners said they worry the primarily residential northern section of Old City would be disrupted by a new restaurant and rooftop dining area. They expressed concerns about noise, late hours, traffic and the size and capacity of the roof decks.
