An abandoned Baptist church on Wellington Hill would be converted into a 5-story, 27-unit mixed-use building under a proposal pitched by the developer EJS Investments Inc.

The Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) is reviewing the Mattapan project, with a virtual public meeting set for next Wednesday (Aug. 16) at 6 p.m. The deadline for comment is the next day, Aug. 17.

The site, 156 Wellington Hill St., sits across the street from a five-story apartment building and multifamily homes and is close to five bus lines and the B-3 District police station at the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and Morton Street.

The project is geared toward homeownership, with one- and two-bedroom units, and 14.8 percent of the units (4) will be set aside as affordable housing.

Some of the units would come with private balconies, and a common roof deck would have seating and a grilling area. The project calls for 12 off-street parking spaces and a bicycle storage room with space for 27 bikes on the ground level.

The building’s retail area would span 1,100 square feet.

The city’s assessing office values the existing property at $557,300. Photos of the inside, which accompanied the developer’s filing with the BPDA, showed empty pews with detritus scattered across the floor.

“The Proposed Project will contribute to the revitalization of this portion of the Morton Street corridor and more specifically the intersection of Wellington Hill Street and Greendale Road by transforming the existing, vacant structure into a mixed-use residential building that will match the surrounding neighborhood at an urban scale,” the project proposal states.

Sathuan Sa is listed as CEO and president of EJS Investments Inc. Former City Councillor Mike Ross is the attorney for the project.
