Resolution to Approve 106 North Fourth Avenue Site Plan at 106 North Fourth Avenue (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve 106 North Fourth Avenue Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 910 square foot addition to an existing building on a 2,221 square foot lot.
Petition Summary:
• The Site Plan proposes a two story, 910 square foot addition to an existing one story portion at the rear of the building for office use. The existing building is 5,247 square feet in size. Since the proposed addition exceeds 10% of the size of the existing building, a Site Plan for City Council is required. The height of the proposed addition will be 38 feet. No vehicular parking is proposed as part of this project. No changes are proposed to the façade of the building along North Fourth Avenue.
• The site is within the Fourth-Ann Historic District. The Historic District Commission determined the proposed addition to be appropriate at their March 11, 2021 meeting.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 19, 2021, recommended approval of this request.
