***The Petitioner continued this item from the November 26, 2024 City Council Meeting.***

The Petitioner requests approval of a Special Use Permit for a parking facility at 1210 Drayton Street, 108 E. Henry Street, and 112 E. Henry Street.  The properties are located on the northeast corner of Drayton and E. Henry Streets and include approximately 0.44 acres. 

The building at 1210 Drayton Street (PIN 20053 03017), originally constructed in 1959 as a service station, and the building at 108 E. Henry Street (PIN 20053 03018), built in 1952 as a storage warehouse, were both non-contributing structures. These buildings were demolished in 2023 under permit (23-004850-COA). Additionally, the parcel at 112 E. Henry Street (PIN 20053 03005) had remained vacant.

The parking facility use requires a Special Use Permit in the TC-1 zoning district.  

On November 4, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested Special Use Permit for a parking facility at 1210 Drayton Street, 108 E. Henry Street, and 112 E. Henry Street with the following conditions:

1. The requested Special Use shall consist only of a surface parking lot. Any expansion of the parking facility shall require review and approval by City Council.

2. Encourage the developer to work alongside the City to improve the sidewalk.

3. The Special Use Permit shall be nontransferable.
