Information
INFORMATION: Parker Louis, LLC has submitted an application for a Minor Modification to the previously approved Special Use Permit-A allowing for construction of a mixed-use building within the B-3 zoned portion of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Claremont South AIS Phase 4, located at 1001 Homestead Road. The subject property is 1.23 acres (53,418 sf) and is further identified by Property Identification Number 9779-37-0476)
The original PUD was approved in April 2012 and the Special Use Permit-A was granted in February 2018. As approved, the permit allows for 6,797 square feet of office space on the first floor and 4,879 square feet of residential space on the second floor, comprising four residential dwelling units. A minor modification granted by the Town Council in 2019, allowed for residential use on the first floor and a total of eleven dwelling units in the building.
The current minor modification application consists of a request to increase the total number of permissible dwelling units in the building to 14, between the first and second floors. The building size has been slightly reduced to 6,659 square feet for the first floor and 4,760 square feet for the second floor, and the internal layout of individual spaces will be modified to allow a total of 14 dwelling units (11 one bedroom units & 3 two bedroom units), in accordance with a transfer of residential density from the R-10, Residential portion of the PUD to the B-3 portion of the PUD. This transfer of density recently became permissible when Town Council adopted a LUO text amendment allow for such density transfers on October 24, 2023. The request is consistent with the text amendment. The request also still allows for office space on the first floor of the building as well.
