Motion carried unanimously. New Business Cal. No. 03-02: Petition of TMS DEVELOPMENT. L.L.C.. 240 North Church Street, for a Conditional Use Permit to permit multiple dwelling units on the ground floor in the B-4 District. Mr. Van Steenhuyse presented the recommendation of staff: The subject property currently consists of two (2) vacant buildings. The building on the corner was formerly an apartment building with dwelling units on the first floor. The building to the south was an o�ce building. There is a private alley between the south building and the Decatur Club. The subject property is located within the B-4 Central Business District. However, Church Street forms the western boundary of the B-4 District and there is currently no retail activity in this area. There are no off-street parking requirements in the B-4 District. In the middle of the block along Church Street there is a curb cut and driveway approach leading to the sidewalk near the south building. This approach does not lead to a driveway or building door and therefore serves no purpose. There are also three (3) parking spaces on Church Street adjacent to the subject property.
