Title
Resolution to Approve 215 North Fifth Avenue Site Plan, 215 North Fifth Avenue (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 9 Yeas and 0 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to approve the 215 North Fifth Avenue Site Plan. Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a single-family dwelling in the D2 Downtown Interface zoning district.
Petition Summary:
The Site Plan proposes to demolish an existing commercial structure (most recently occupied by the Bessenberg Bindery) and construct a two-story single-family dwelling.
Site plan approval is required because the single-family dwelling is on a parcel that is not zoned solely for residential purposes (per Section 5:122 Site Plans of Chapter 57).
No footing drain disconnects are required, nor are there any other City requirements that would necessitate a development agreement.
The Historic District Commission issued a certificate of appropriateness for the project on February 10, 2011. The City Planning Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting of March 15, 2011.
