Weaver, Director of Community Development� Robert A.

The subject petition requests a special use permit to allow an office as a historical neighborhood use on premises commonly known as 109 South Edward Street; said premises are presently zoned R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. As reported by petitioner, the existing building would be used as an office facility for Lutheran Child and Family Services. A special use permit for a photography studio as a historic neighborhood use was issued for this tract in March, 1990. Staff recognizes the proposed use as being similar in character and in keeping with the intent of the previous special permit. There would be no changes to the exterior of the existing building, and off street parking would be provided in the existing driveway and across Edward Street in the existing parking lot for St. Paul's Lutheran Church. In view of tne data presented, staff recommends approval of the petition with the following stipulations: (1) that the existing structure remain as set forth by the site plan and photographs submitted by petitioner, and that no exterior alterations to the existing building be made, (2) that minimum off street parking spaces be provided at a ratio of one space per 400 square feet of gross floor area for office space and two spaces per apartment unit; such spaces may be provided by lease arrangement as set for in applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance (Ord. 3512) , and (3) that signage be limited to one non-illuminated sign mounted flat against an exterior wall of the existing structure and having an area not to exceed four square feet.
