Applicant living in former thrift store at 106 North Pitman; commission tables conditional‑use request
Summary
An applicant asked to temporarily live in a former thrift store at 106 North Pitman and the commission tabled the conditional‑use request after staff noted the property is in a CBD zone where single‑family use may not be permitted.
An applicant listed on the agenda as Wanda House asked the commission to allow temporary residential occupancy at 106 North Pitman while awaiting permanent housing; she said she had closed the thrift store on Nov. 29 and needed to live in the building until Jan. 6.
Staff and commissioners said the site is in a central business (CBD) zone and single‑family residential use may not be permitted; the building lacks clear separation between commercial and residential spaces and does not have customer/restroom separation that would make mixed‑use straightforward. Given the code uncertainty and the applicant’s short timeline, the commission voted to table the request to allow staff and the applicant time to clarify permitted uses and occupancy details.
The case will return next month with additional information about permitted uses in the CBD zoning and potential conditions the commission or council might impose.
