H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a (CUP) conditional use permit to allow for the existing
dwelling and accessory buildings to be used in conjunction and as an expansion
of the existing violin shop on the adjacent property immediately to the south at
316 East 11th Street.
The proposed conditional use permit for the dwelling will contain an office and
photography studio in one dedicated room. The proposed music studio and
teaching area will occupy up to two (2) additional rooms in the main dwelling. The
accessory building located to the east at the rear of the dwelling will be used as a
woodworking shop for the adjacent violin shop.
The woodworking in the shop will primarily be performed by hand tools and have
little or no noise impact on the surrounding dwellings. Also, the work will be limited
to the standard business working hours of 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday with all activities to be completed by 8:00 p.m. Along with the wood shop
another 500 square foot cottage is also located on the property behind the
dwelling. The cottage is currently and will remain occupied by an employee of the
violin shop who serves as an overseer of the property.
No visible changes are proposed to the exterior of the dwelling or property, nor is
any new or additional signage proposed.
The existing dwelling and associated business building around the corner on 11th
Street currently have on-street parking only. The proposal does not include any
additional areas of parking for either location mentioned. The applicant indicates
that the current on-street parking will experience only minimum impact by the new
students attending music lessons at 1016 Rock Street.
Staff is supportive of the conditional use permit to allow the property to be used in
conjunction and as an expansion of the existing violin shop on the adjacent
property immediately to the south at 316 East 11th Street. Uses of the dwelling as
office, music studio and photography studio are permitted C-1 Neighborhood
Commercial uses. Staff believes that there will be no adverse impact on the
surrounding neighborhood from the minimal increase in both pedestrian and
vehicular traffic.
