PROPOSED USE: Office uses.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on February 10, 2022.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a former dwelling converted to a law office in the R-3, Residential District as permitted by Ordinance #2589-93 (CV93-067) allowing this sole use. The proposed C-2, Commercial District will allow all office uses along with some non-office commercial uses. The intended use is an accountant’s office. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Area Plan (2009), which recommends mixed-use land uses at this location, supporting single- and multi-unit residential, office, and retail uses. The Plan also prioritizes improving the ability to walk to destinations, specifically along the Indianola corridor. Staff finds the request to be consistent with the Plan’s recommendation of mixed-use land uses at this location. A suggestion by the Planning Division to provide a sidewalk along the frontage of Indianola Avenue is being met with a City planned sidewalk installation project for the west side of Indianola Avenue which will commence this summer.
