First mixed-use building in downtown San Luis
Summary
The city's first mixed-use project — offices plus an apartment on a tiny lot — cleared the Board of Adjustment despite a staff denial recommendation, but councilmembers acknowledged the city's codes and long-delayed downtown overlay district make such projects hard. Staff hopes to bring the overlay for adoption by year's end.
