Proposal
Conversion of a real estate office is proposed within an existing single-family dwelling. A real
estate office is first permitted in the Neighborhood Office (O-1) District, necessitating
Conditional Use approval.
Existing property improvements include a single-family dwelling containing 2,040 square feet, a
detached accessory building containing 780 square feet, and a paved driveway and parking area
to accommodate seven (7) vehicles (reference Attachment 2). The applicant indicates that no
exterior improvements or expansions are planned to these existing buildings to accommodate
this use. The Ordinance requires the treatment of parking areas, landscaping, lighting, and
screening of stored waste for office uses. Consistent with other area dwelling conversions for
office uses along the Route 10 corridor, conditions are recommended to limit the intensity of
uses.
The following chart provides an overview of these conditions to mitigate the impact of the use on
area properties:
