Board asks staff to treat lab-with-office at 302 Lucerne as office use with accessory lab via administrative permit
Summary
The board recommended staff consider an 'office with accessory laboratory' interpretation for a downtown property at 302 Lucerne and suggested handling the application through an administrative use permit so conditions can be applied at staff level.
Late in the meeting staff raised an interpretive question about whether a business with an office and an accessory lab component at 302 Lucerne could be allowed in the downtown zoning district. Bill Bridal, the commercial real‑estate representative for the prospective tenant, described a small operation that handles testing on shipped samples and that has no public walk‑in services.
Staff recommended processing the request as an administrative use permit so staff can apply conditions and review the lab component; the board voted to recommend that staff consider 'office with accessory laboratory' as an allowable office use and to proceed via administrative permit review.
