BZA approves conditional‑use request for duplex at 1001 N. Jackson Street
Summary
The board approved a conditional‑use permit allowing a duplex at 1001 North Jackson Street in R3, subject to design consistency with packet materials and street‑tree planting every 30 feet on both frontages; the neighborhood association supported the project.
The Bloomington Board of Zoning Appeals approved a conditional‑use application Nov. 1 from Layton (Clayton) Cochrane to construct a one‑story duplex at 1001 North Jackson Street.
Staff said the proposal meets use‑specific standards for duplexes in the R3 district — including separate entrances, porches and compatibility with neighborhood character — and noted sewer and water connections are available. The Maple Heights Neighborhood Association met with the petitioner and offered positive feedback, staff said.
Board members voted to approve the conditional use with two conditions: approval is limited to the design shown in the packet and the petitioner must plant street trees spaced no more than 30 feet on center along both property frontages.
Petitioner Clayton Cochran said the duplex design follows the neighborhood pattern and thanked the board for accommodating the project. The board concluded the request aligns with infill and housing goals in the comprehensive plan.
