The property is comprised of approximately 4,250 square feet of lot area (0.10 acre) being the south 85 feet of lots 1, Block 11, Roots and Coy’s Addition. The applicant proposes to construct a two (2) story duplex structure with 1,700 square feet in area. It will be a wood-frame structure, with a mixture of metal and stone siding, with single slope shed roofs. OCTOBER 13, 2022 ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.)

All proposed setbacks will conform with Section 36 -255 (R-3 zoning standards) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The building height will not exceed 35 feet. The applicant is proposing a paved driveway for each unit to accommodate up to two (2) vehicles each, connecting to enclosed garages (one per each unit) on the south side of the structure. The paved drive will extend south to West 11th Street. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of (1.5) parking spaces per each unit within the duplex.

Staff believes the proposed duplex structure located at 1021 South Woodrow Street is an appropriate use for this property. The duplex structure will only be a minor increase in the original platted density for this property and will not be out of character with the general area . Other duplex structures are located throughout the neighborhood. Staff believes the proposed duplex will have no adverse impact on the neighborhood or surrounding uses. The applicant is requesting no variances with the proposed development. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E, and the staff analysis, and the agenda staff report.
