Commission approves conditional use for three‑unit conversion at 333 Clinton Street
Summary
The commission approved a conditional‑use request to convert a former daycare/commercial building at 333 Clinton Street into a three‑unit triplex. Staff supported the change as adaptive reuse consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan; planning commission review will address building codes and accessibility details.
The commission approved a conditional‑use permit to convert the building at 333 Clinton Street into a three‑unit triplex. Staff explained that the property is in the traditional neighborhood district, that the proposed plan preserves open space and meets dimensional standards, and that staff supports adaptive reuse to reduce blight and provide housing options.
Mary Moyer, agent for LT Land Development, said the project maintains the fenced yard and will preserve the basement as a community room rather than residential units. "These residential units are the traditional neighborhood allows for 3 to 4, so this will be only 3 units," Moyer said, adding that the basement will remain open space for residents to use.
Board members raised building‑code and emergency‑access questions, including whether the developer would pursue commercial or residential building‑code review and how handicap‑accessibility and slope‑related emergency access would be handled. Staff and the applicant said planning‑commission review and Warren County plan review will determine final building‑code compliance and accessibility requirements.
A motion to approve the conditional use was moved and seconded; a roll‑call vote recorded board assent and the motion passed.
Next steps: the applicant will submit plans to planning commission for site‑plan and building‑code review, and any required accessibility or emergency‑access improvements will be addressed during that review.
