Commission approves special exception for bed‑and‑breakfast homestay at 302 S. Hayden Ave
Summary
The commission approved Special Exception SC25‑107 allowing a bed‑and‑breakfast homestay at 302 South Hayden Avenue in the historic Garden District after variances and site plan clarifications; staff recommended approval given consolidated parking and screening.
The commission granted a special exception Oct. 20 permitting a bed‑and‑breakfast homestay at 302 South Hayden Avenue following staff and planning‑board review.
Staff said the applicant, represented by Sam Nelson, had previously obtained variances necessary to create 0‑lot lines and to remove certain landscape buffers during Planning Board review; two guest rooms were proposed in the accessory dwelling unit and one in the primary structure, which triggered the need for a special exception because of location and building‑age criteria. Planning staff noted that required class‑2 site‑plan review was unnecessary because no new construction is proposed and the parking area previously had site‑plan approval and adequate screening.
After staff presentation there were no public questions and the commission approved the request by motion and voice vote. Staff will file the appropriate records and follow city code conditions for special exceptions.
