ANALYSIS:
No comments.
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 3200 and 3210 Malloy
Street. The property is currently undeveloped and mostly grass covered. The
property is located at the southwest corner of Mallory and West 32nd Streets.
The property is comprised of two (2) platted lots; Lots 5 and 6, Block 204, John
Barrow Addition. Each lot contains approximately 6,555 square feet of lot area
(0.15 acre).
The applicant proposes to construct one (1) duplex structure on each of the platted
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 25 feet back from the front (east) property
line, 5 feet to 6.25 feet back from the side property lines and over 60 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.
The applicant is proposing eight (8) paved parking spaces (four (4) per duplex) to
be located within the rear yard area, between the duplex structures and the west
property line. One (1) shared paved driveway from West 32"d Street will serve as
access to the parking area. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of six (6) parking
spaces for the 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 3200 and
3210 Malloy Street are appropriate uses for this property. The duplex structures
2

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.

Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP, subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in Sections D, E and F, and the staff analysis,
