401/401A/407 S. Horner Blvd and 706 W. Pearl Street Conditional Rezoning

Description

The building owner wants to add a small (about 500 sq ft) apartment at the back of his commercial building. Council members questioned parking and an unused upstairs door; he offered a parking agreement with a nearby childcare center and to remove the door if required.

Impact summary

Could add one small housing unit downtown-adjacent, but parking on Horner Boulevard remains the sticking point.
