7. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for a
duplex to be located on this vacant residentially zoned
lot. The site is in a neighborhood that contains a mixture
of single and two family residences, and even an area about
a half block to the southwest that is zoned Light
Industrial.
The units would be one story with frame exteriors, similar
to other structures in the area. The proposal meets all
siting requirements except for parking. The Ordinance
requires 11i parking spaces per unit. The proposal includes
only one space per unit. That would require a variance for
reduced on-site parking. On street parking is also
available. Stiff supports the parking variance.
