Thought they would make it 4 floors to allow for more parking ...but looks like their keeping it 3 in typical BR fashion' The Elysian is 4 floors; so not buying it "aligning w neighborhood"

Valencia Park developers grapple with parking requirements

After several delays, the developers of a 122-unit apartment complex planned for families and veterans in Spanish Town will ask the Planning Commission for additional time to tweak their plans to meet parking requirements.

Construction on the three-story Valencia Park complex was slated to begin early this year on a 2.6-acre city block across from Spanish Town Park on North 13th Street, with completion expected early next year. But Renaissance Neighborhood Development Corporation’s request to have the property rezoned as a Small Planned Unit Development has been deferred several times as they tried to add parking spaces required by the Unified Development Code. Now, they plan to ask the request to be deferred until October, says Vanessa Levine, RNDC development director, as they continue to work with architects and civil engineers.

RNDC considered adding a fourth floor to reduce the building’s footprint for parking, but Levine says the company prefers to keep the building three stories to align it with the neighborhood.

Keep it at 4 stories, but use most of the first floor as covered parking.    It's not overly expensive and is pretty common Baton Rouge:
