Commerce council OKs conditional‑use permit to convert single‑family home to duplex near university
Summary
The council approved a second reading of an ordinance allowing a conditional‑use permit for a duplex at 2407 Mayo Street in an R‑7 single‑family district. Planning and Zoning recommended approval, though the P&Z chair opposed the measure.
The Commerce City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance granting a conditional‑use permit to allow a duplex in an R‑7 single‑family district at 2407 Mayo Street.
Planning and Zoning recommended approval after reviewing the proposal to renovate and expand the existing structure into two units. Planning staff presented the application and noted the property owner is affiliated with the university and plans to add parking and modify the building; staff said the project meets the local off‑street parking standards.
At the hearing, staff reported the planning board recommended approval although the board chair, Carolyn (last name not provided), voted against the recommendation. City planning staff said the duplex conversion will result in roughly three bedrooms per side (the applicant’s schematic shows about eight rooms total after expansion) and that off‑street parking will be provided on site to meet code.
With required public hearings complete, council passed the ordinance on second reading. Staff said the applicant may proceed with permitting consistent with the conditional‑use conditions approved by the council.
