The findings of the Historic Review Board in HD 10-1 and the applicant's written statement, which <br />are,included herein by reference, further demonstrate the significance of the structure and the <br />value of its preservation. <br />2) An analysis of the area demonstrates how the uses and development standards of <br />the S Special Area zone ordinance will facilitate implementation of the planned use <br />of the property or the preservation or rehabilitation of distinctive buildings or <br />natural features of benefit to the community. <br />The. proposed uses and development standards for the Brunner-Schmitz House are set forth in a <br />proposed draft ordinance to which these supporting findings are attached. The purpose of the <br />Historic Special Area Zone is to ensure permitted uses and development on the site, encourage <br />preservation of historic qualities. The proposed uses include both residential and non-residential <br />uses permitted in low density residential. and neighborhood commercial zones. The proposed <br />residential uses are reduced from the existing,medium density residential use list which would <br />allow for multi-family development, to limiting the development to a one-family dwelling or <br />duplex. These residential uses facilitate the preservation of the existing building it is currently <br />being used as a single family dwelling but may allow for changes that would allow for a duplex or <br />secondary dwelling unit (subject to Historic alterations review). <br />The.non-residential uses include limited office and commercial services as well artist studios and <br />assisted care and daycare, uses. All of these nonresidential uses proposed, could occur in the <br />building while preserving its historic character. Non-residential uses would further benefit the <br />community as the use of the site.would then draw citizens to the property where the historic <br />nature of the building and property can be further shared. <br />The,Special Area Zone ordinance further facilitates preservation by.clarifying the historic aspects of <br />the building and clarifying that parking lot alterations, building alterations or additions and all new <br />construction shall comply with Historic Property Alteration approval criteria, which ensures that all <br />applicable future alterations are reviewed to ensure compatibility with the existing historic <br />building. The applicant's written statement (pages 4- 6) which includes additional findings <br />regarding this criterion is incorporated herein by reference. <br />The iproposed ordinance includes development standards related to the existing parking lot and <br />landscaping on the site. The following changes to the ordinance proposed by the applicant have <br />been made in order to ensure future improvements complement the historic nature of the <br />building. <br />o Section 1. (c) Remove (C) subject to an approved conditional use permit (no uses are listed <br />as conditional). <br />Section 1. (c) add Secondary Dwelling Unit as permitted use. <br />Section 1.(c) remove Tea Room and maximum seating capacity limitation <br />Findings - Brunner Schmitz House (Z 10-12) Page 2402
