STAFF PRESENTATION <br />Mr. Sabo presented staffs report. City Council recently approved an ordinance creating <br />a Main Street District classification and regulations. The District's interior, the overlay <br />district, has unique characteristics that allow residential activity above the first floor. <br />The City received a request from a property owner to lease and remodel an existing <br />commercial facility with a house in the rear in the Main Street District. Staff discovered <br />that language in the recently adopted ordinance inadvertently excluded single-family <br />detached from the Main Street District. <br />Staff recommended that single-family detached dwellings be permitted in the Main Street <br />District. Residential activity in the overlay portion would still be confined to the second <br />floor. <br />Public hearing notices were mailed to 257 property owners. The City received three <br />responses favoring the amendment, one in opposition, and 14 were returned <br />undeliverable. <br />B. PROPONENTS <br />Sue Gale Mock Kooken, of 410 S. 1~ St., favors the ordinance amendment to allow <br />existing residential, as well as future residential, within the Main Street District. <br />B. Don Skelton, of 233 San Jacinto and on behalf of wife, Shirley, has asingle-family <br />home with business and would like to keep it that way. <br />J.J. Meza, owner of several properties with residential activity within the District, favors <br />the ordinance amendment. <br />C. OPPONENTS <br />There were none. <br />15.
