Summary

The Commission approved consolidation of 3111 and 3113 Meadow Drive into a single lot to allow redevelopment of the former Fire House 15 site for a proposed project called Abide, which would refurbish the existing two-story structure for a bakery/café and second-floor coworking and office space.

Deputy Director Jordan Ellena presented a petition to consolidate the two parcels at 3111 and 3113 Meadow Drive into a single lot of record so a prospective developer can redevelop the former Fire House 15 site. Ellena said the site is in the Town Center (TC) zoning district, which allows up to 70 feet of building height and has no parking minimums; the proposed project, called "Abide," would refurbish the existing two-story structure to house a bakery and café with second-story coworking and office space.

Staff requested waiver of public improvements (sidewalks and easements) at the plat stage because the pending redevelopment will likely provide those improvements, and staff confirmed there are no historic-designation constraints on the property. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the concurrent preliminary and final plat consolidation, with motion by Commissioner Gercken and second by Commissioner Roos (6–0).
