2040: Enhance the Unique “Community Oasis” Experience & Create Business and
Innovation Nodes
Executive Summary:
The applicant is proposing to construct a two-story building with retail on the ground level and two
residential units above. This is a mixed-use project similar to the project under construction to the north
but larger in size.
Introduction:
The first floor of the building is proposed to contain 3,347 square feet of speculative retail space with a
covered storefront facing West Main Street. To the rear of the building are two separate stairwells and
garages, one for each of the residential units. The second floor is proposed to contain two residential units
approximately 2,300 square foot each for a total of 4,612 square feet. Each unit contains three bedrooms,
three bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area, living room, utility room and two doors that open out onto
balconies facing Main Street.
Analysis:
There are 889 parking spaces required for the overall master planned development and 1,014 have been
provided, meeting the parking needs for this development. The applicant is providing two two-car
garages in their proposal to sufficiently accommodate two 2,300 square foot residential units per the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The architecture is very similar to the project
under construction to the north; although, a brown brick is proposed instead of a cream-color brick and
this will have a wider storefront facing to the east.
