TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Lyons, Planning Services Manager
DATE: September 22, 2022
RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for Adaptive Reuse 322 Court Street
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for an adaptive reuse at
322 Court Street. The subject site is located on Court Street, just south of Washington Avenue.
The subject parcel is about 8,000 sq. ft. in size and is developed with an existing building and
garage. According to the Assessor’s website, this property was most recently used as an office
building. The site is surrounded predominantly by commercial uses.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting approval for an adaptive reuse of the site to convert the existing
office space to a 2-bedroom, 2-bath single family home. According to the applicant, the existing
footprint of the building will not be changed and the existing carriage house will be used as a
garage. It should be noted that the current rear lot line will slightly change in the near future
due to a CSM that is being reviewed for a neighboring site (The Howard). The new rear lot line
will make the current carriage house/garage have a code compliant rear setback for accessory
structures and will slightly increase the overall square footage of the property.
Staff is supportive of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the adaptive reuse as the conversion
of an office land use to a single family land use will not have a detrimental impact on the
surrounding area and will not result in increased traffic to the site. The building also fits the
character of the surrounding area. Staff also feel the proposed use of the site will align with the
design of the building itself, as the exterior appearance is consistent with that of a single family
home.
FISCAL IMPACT
The conversion of the existing office use to residential should have a minimal impact on overall
assessed value.

The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit with findings on
September 20, 2022. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for more
information.

Item II– CUP Adaptive Reuse – 322 Court St.
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit with findings on
September 20, 2022. The following is their discussion on the item.
Site Inspections Report: Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Davey reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit approval for an adaptive reuse at 322
Court Street.
Mr. Nielsen presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land
use and zoning classifications in this area. The applicant is requesting approval for an adaptive
reuse of the site to convert the existing office space to a 2-bedroom, 2-bath single family home.
According to the applicant, the existing footprint of the building will not be changed and the
existing carriage house will be used as a garage. It should be noted that the current rear lot line
will slightly change in the near future due to a CSM that is being reviewed for a neighboring
site (The Howard). The new rear lot line will make the current carriage house/garage have a
code compliant rear setback for accessory structures and will slightly increase the overall square
footage of the property. Staff recommends approval with the findings and conditions as stated
in the staff report.
Mr. Perry opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Mitchell asked if the city has any programs to help return the concrete terrace into grass.
Mr. Nielsen said the image shown is from 2013 and within the last few years it has been
