Staff presentation: Jerod Potts
• Future Land Use Plan – Retail Commercial and Office Commercial
• Current Zoning – S-P-1 (480-273A) with underlying O1 office uses
• Proposed two-story addition
o Approx. 4,828 s.f.
• Building materials would match existing buildings on the property
• Applicant not providing additional parking – existing 72 parking spaces
o Added parking in 2014
o Parked general office – 1 to 300 s.f. (meet parking requirements)
Questions for staff by the Committee:
John Huffman: Just an addition to the front building?
Jerod Potts: The addition will be on the south side of the building, further south from
1709.
Chad Patton: But there is an existing two-story building? The existing building is a two-
story building?
Jerod Potts: Existing one-story building and the applicant is proposing a two-story
building.
John Huffman: Requires zoning change?
Jerod Potts: Yes, because of the nature of the S-P-1 zoning district
John Huffman: The land use is not changing?
Jerod Potts: No, the use is not changing. The site is currently for executive suite
offices, which the applicant intends to continue.
Austin Reynolds: What is the parking ratio currently?
Jerod Potts: 1 parking spot for every 300 sq. ft. In 2014, the applicant added 17
parking spaces to their existing 51 spots with anticipation of this addition; therefore, they
meet the current parking requirements for the expansion.
Frances Scharli: Jerod, you are saying this if office use but when I drove by there
before the meeting it looks like there is a hair salon use there too… Is that considered
office or retail?

Meeting #28 – August 31, 2020 Page 4
Jerod Potts: The current zoning contains underlying O1 uses, which could include a
suite that contains retail use within the bounds of O1 uses. The applicant can speak to
this.
Frances Scharli: I was just wondering if this serves as retail does it require more
parking?
Jerod Potts: There should not be retail in the space.
Chad Patton: No set-back issues?
Jerod Potts: None that we are aware of at this point.
Shawn McCaskill: If the materials match up, I do not have any questions.
Applicant presentation: Sandeep Sandhu
• Converted building to executive suites
• Approx. 60 executive suites - hoping to expand
• Parking was expanded in 2014 for medical use renting (trying to meet medical
requirement but did not pan out)
• Regarding retail use concern – 95% of suites are general office; there is one hair
salon
• Use is for executive suites only
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
John Huffman: Maintaining the stone façade?
Applicant: Yes, we are keeping it consistent.
