Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Adaptive Reuses are permitted only through a Conditional Use Permit in the Urban Mixed Use District (UMU) as regulated in Section 30-53(C) of the Zoning Ordinance. Criteria used for Conditional Use Permits are located in Section 30-382 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site is located at the northeast corner of Church Avenue and Jackson Street. The subject parcel is approximately 6,920 square feet (0.16 acres) in area and is developed with an existing 2,580 square foot two-story building constructed in 1913. According to the Polk Directories, this property was originally used as a single-family home until 1974. In 1975, the building was changed to a commercial land use (Manpower Inc). Since that time, the property has been used primarily as commercial office space. The general area has a wide variety of uses including governmental, institutional, and low to high density residential and commercial.

Single-family uses are not permitted in the UMU Zoning District. However, because the structure was constructed and used as a single-family home, the single-family use may be reestablished through approval of an adaptive reuse. According to the applicant, the existing footprint of the building will not be changed and there are no external design modifications planned. Staff is in support of the Conditional Use Permit for the adaptive reuse as the conversion will not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding area and will not result in increased traffic to the site. Also, the property has sufficient parking and meets the residential parking standards. Architecturally, the building fits the character of the neighborhood and the single-family use is compatible with residential uses in 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.

(2) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts as related to the environs of the subject property because the subject property is within a mixed use area with multiple land uses, including existing single-family residential homes. (3) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not impose an undue burden on., any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services provided by the public or private agencies serving the subject property because this is an existing property that has an established infrastructure. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an adaptive reuse at 322 Church Avenue with the findings listed above.
