Planning Director Jim Hitt presented the Staff report as follows:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a professional office for a travel
business in an R-3-A Residential/Professional District. Office uses and similar uses are
designated as requiring a Conditional Use Permit within the R-3-A district.
This site was previously granted a Conditional Use Permit in 2002 but the owner at that time did
not complete the required work to the site and the Conditional Use Permit was voided.
The new owner and applicant are proposing to utilize the 1,302.8 square foot building and add a
481 sq. ft. addition for a total of 1,783.8 sq. ft. No residential uses are adjacent to the site.
Staff believes this area is suitable this type of use and recommends approval of the request for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a professional office for a travel business.
