City staff recommends approval for parking lot at 1620 Third Street Southeast
Summary
City staff recommended approval of a conditional-use request to allow a parking lot as the primary use at 1620 Third Street SE (a 24,300-square-foot parcel proposed to provide about 50 parking spaces); public works staff said the lot paving would begin in spring and may temporarily affect an adjacent private lot.
City staff recommended the Board of Adjustment approve a conditional-use request to allow a parking lot as a primary use at 1620 Third Street Southeast, a parcel in the NewBo area that the city says would be paved to provide roughly 50 spaces for general public parking.
Staff described the parcel as approximately 24,300 square feet and said the proposal meets conditional-use standards for parking — including setbacks and screening — and is consistent with a high-intensity urban form district. Public Works presented the project as the paving of a gravel lot built last year in conjunction with a street project to improve parking in the NewBo area.
Doug Wilson of the Public Works Department said the parking would be free. He told the board the project is expected to begin in the spring (around April) and be completed by June, and that construction could temporarily require work on the portion of the adjacent private lot that sits on or near city property. Tom Slaughter, owner of Tornados Grub and Pub, asked whether his employees would be able to park there during the work and raised questions about compensation and temporary loss of stalls; staff did not provide a compensation amount in the transcript excerpt.
Staff recommended approval and did not propose conditions in the portion of the transcript provided. The board did not record a vote on the conditional-use request in the excerpt provided.
