Summary

Planning staff recommended and the commission voted to recommend City Council approve a special-exception permit allowing an accessory storage shed for Bodo's Bagels at 1418 Emmett Street; the property is in the NX-5 node mixed-use district and does not meet current built-to ranges.

Neighborhood Development Services presented a special-exception request March 11, 2025, to permit an accessory storage shed at 1418 Emmett Street (Bodo's Bagels). The property is in the NX-5 node mixed-use district and does not meet the built-to width requirement that applies on primary streets; the owner sought an exception to permit the rear/storage addition.

NDS planner Dan O'Connell told the commission staff recommended approval and said the proposal would be verified through the development-plan review: "Staff recommends approval of the special exception," he said during his presentation.

Commission discussion was brief. A commissioner moved to recommend approval, a second was recorded and the commission voted to recommend the special exception to City Council. The commission recorded no opposition in the roll call poll.

What happens next: The recommendation is certified to City Council, which will consider the special-exception permit as part of its review of the development plan and the property's compliance with NX-5 requirements.
