ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting, a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of two (2) duplex structures on two (2) lots (one (1) per lot) at 4404 Ludwig Street. The property is located on the west side of Ludwig Street, between West 44th and West 46th Streets. The property currently contains one (1) small single family residence located near the center of the property. A gravel driveway (concrete apron) from Ludwig Street serves as access to the residence. The property is comprised of 2 ½ platted lots; Lots 3 and 4, and the North ½ of Lot 5, Block 165, John Barrow’s Addition. The applicant proposes to replat the lots into two (2) lots, each being 62.5 feet by 144.5 feet (9,031 square feet) in size. The overall property is 0.415 acre in area. The applicant proposes to construct one (1) duplex structure on each of the resulting lots. Each duplex structure will be 2,348 square feet in area and two (2) stories in height. They will be thermal insulated, wood-frame structures, with vinyl siding, thermal glazed windows and hip roofs with asphalt shingles on reinforced concrete slabs. The duplex structures will be located over 50 feet back from the front (east) property line, 10 feet to 12.5 feet back from the side property lines and over 30 feet back from the rear (west) property line. All proposed setbacks will conform with Section 36-255 (R-3 zoning standards) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The building heights are not to exceed 35 feet. January 14, 2021 ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9548 5 The applicant is proposing eight (8) paved parking spaces (four (4) per duplex) to be located within the front yard area, between the duplex structures and Ludwig Street. One (1) shared paved driveway from Ludwig Street will serve as access to the parking area. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of six (6) parking spaces for two (2) duplexes. The parking as proposed will be sufficient to serve the development. To staff’s knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with this application. Staff believes the proposed duplex structures located at 4404 Ludwig Street are appropriate uses for this property. The duplex structures will only be a minor increase in the original platted density for this property. The proposed duplex structures will not be out of character with the general area. Other duplex structures are located throughout the John Barrow Neighborhood. Staff believes the proposed duplexes will have no adverse impact on the subdivision or surrounding uses. The applicant is requesting no variances with the proposed development. I.
