Staff Report for Kelly and Main

“The proposed development includes two new three-story buildings with 1,860 gross square feet of ground floor commercial space and six apartment units. The existing building at 433 / 435 Main Street would be retained. Originally this L-shaped lot was three separate rectangular lots, consistent with the prevailing pattern in downtown. Under a previous owner the three lots were merged, creating the current configuration. The property is the former site of a gas station. It closed in 2008, and the site has remained vacant and secured behind solid fencing for many years. Remediation of the property has been completed. In 2006, the City approved a mixed-use project for this site that included more commercial space and fewer residential units than the proposed project. The zoning at that time required 42 parking spaces, and the project included 12 spaces. That former project was not constructed.”
