Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: Pritchard discloses that he sits with the applicant on the Downtown Business Association, but he does not believe it his ability to make a fair and honest opinion. None from other Commission members. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Scott Robinson, Planner II, presented from Power Point: • Property located at 927 Main Street in downtown Louisville. The property currently has an office in the front and a residential unit behind the office. The proposal is to remove the residential unit and keep the front office portion, expanding the office portion 560 SF, and build a new two unit residential structure on the back. The two structures will be connected by a second story deck on top of the new commercial addition, but there will be two separate structures as far as the Building Code is concerned. • Property governed by the Louisville Municipal Code, the Design Handbook for Downtown Louisville, and the Downtown Framework. The proposal complies with all requirements and regulations set forth in documents regarding setback, floor area, and height requirements. • Parking required for commercial spaces, the first 999 SF of new commercial space does not require additional parking. The 560 SF addition does not require any new parking spaces. • The two residential spaces are 1-bedroom units. Under Municipal Code, 1-bedroom units require one parking space each. The applicant is proposing two parking spaces per unit, thus exceeding the minimum parking requirement for residential units. • Applicant is seeking Landmarking from the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council for the front portion. HPC has reviewed it and is in favor of the design, both the addition and new residential building. Materials are compatible with existing building and the rest of Downtown, mostly wood or cement board siding with corrugated metal roof on the residential building. The north side is on the lot line and has no openings or windows. • PUD meets all the regulations and requirements. Office space is Use By Right in the Community Commercial Zone District. The multi -unit residential building is an SRU.
