3rd Street Live/Work Units

The applicant's agent said the project meets all parking requirements, cited a nearby comparable live/work unit that sold for $4.3 million, said the Main Promenade structure rarely fills except July 4th, and offered to redesign roof structures if commissioners have concerns.

A resident who backs the lot warned about downtown parking shortages, late-night rooftop parties at a similar Second Street project, the unreliable resident parking permit system, and driveway setbacks that limit garage use; he questioned what businesses would be allowed.

A second resident, accepting donated time, said once built the project is permanent and raised concerns about the downtown resident parking permit system failing visitors and mixed-use households.
