Background Information:
The subject property is currently occupied by medical office uses including a chiropractor office and a massage therapist. The current zoning of Office Professional (OP) is limited primarily to medical and professional office uses and allows for limited commercial, retail, or residential uses (See attached Land Use Matrix). The property owner is proposing to rezone the property to Neighborhood - Main Street (N-MS) in order to allow additional commercial options on the property. The owner intends to utilize the existing structure on the property and construct an additional structure and parking on the remaining portion of the property (Reference attached Preliminary Site Plan). Uses proposed include retail and a coffee shop.
The property is located in an Existing Neighborhood on the Comprehensive Plan, therefore, an Existing Neighborhood Regulating Plan is required to accompany the zoning request. If approved, the applicant will be constructing a “Neighborhood Shopfront” Building Type on the property in accordance with the attached Existing Neighborhood Regulating Plan. Any deviations from the attached Existing Neighborhood Regulating Plan will require Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approval.
