Villegas Mixed-Use Project

Description

Owner Fernando Villegas asked for reduced setbacks (15 ft. to 10 ft. front, 10 ft. to 5 ft. side) and permission to back vehicles out onto C Street so he can build the city's first mixed-use building — offices below, a studio apartment above — on a tiny 30-by-57-foot lot. Staff recommended denial, but the Board of Adjustment approved it 4-2.

Impact summary

The smallest parcel in the city gets a two-story building, setting a precedent for downtown mixed-use development — though safety details on the backward egress will still need to be worked out with the city engineer.
