Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on March 16, 2020, and voted 6-0 to recommend approval. One of the Commissioners questioned how many tenants would be located in the new building and if the parking could accommodate it, to which the applicant responded that there would be no more than three in order to not exhaust the available on-site parking. Another commissioner expressed concern about vehicles backing up into the landscape beds adjacent to the existing building, to which the applicant responded that the spaces will be made wider to allow for easier vehicle maneuverability. Another commissioner questioned why the paint colors on the buildings were different. Staff notes that the paint colors should be complementary but not matching so that the existing historic structure maintains its distinction.
