The property is zoned B- 1/Business within the Old Town Overlay Zone and currently has a home and an office building on it. Lot 4b will contain the existing office and Lot 4A will contain the single-family home.

Variance to be heard by BZA on November 27th. Comprehensive (Comp) Plan Analysis: • The Comp. Plan classifies this area as Downtown which features the City’s most diverse mix of uses and building scales. • Commercial and residential uses are permitted in this area. • Maximum height is 6 stories, and the typical lot coverage varies. • The proposed plat meets the goals of the Comp. Plan and is therefore considered a best fit next to the surrounding properties which are also classified as Downtown on the Comp. Plan. Additional Analysis: Site Plan and Engineering: • This plat is proposing to split an existing parcel with 2 buildings on it into 2 parcels so each building is on its own lot. • Business building is oriented toward Rangeline Rd. and the residential home is oriented to 2nd St. NW. • Access to both lots will be via 2nd St. NW. • The existing right-of-way and sidewalks are already provided for on both streets as is the parking. • There is a 5 ft. utility easement on the single-family lot and an 8 ft. utility easement on the business lot. • Petitioner, please confirm both lots will meet the maximum lot coverage since each building will now be on its own lot. 45% maximum for single-family and 70% maximum for all other uses. Active Transportation: • 5 ft. sidewalks exist along Rangeline Rd. and Small Street. 4 Landscaping: • For this primary plat amendment, no additional buffering is required. • A landscape plan was previously approved when the single-family residence was built. DOCS Remaining Comments/Concerns: 1. Confirm lot coverage for each lot. 2. Revised plans need submitted on ProjectDox. Recommendation: The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission votes to send this item to the Residential Committee with final voting authority.
