I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution No. 015 APPROVING RP 83-4. II. DISCUSSION The proposed request involves the interior and exterior remodel- ling of a run-down, two-story commercial building on the east side of State Street. The Sportsman Bar was previously located on the bottom story of this building. The upper story was used as a residence. The proposal involves the changing of these uses to a first-floor restaurant and a second- floor office. The site is located in Subarea 1 of the Redevelopment Area. This subarea encourages bonafide restaurants and professional offices. Staff believes this to be an excellent location for such an upper/lower story use mix. The applicant has indicated that the 4,136 square-foot building will be thoroughly remodelled to accommodate the new uses. The resurfacing of the exterior front of the structure should result in a rustic, village appearance. Both floors of the structure are accessible by separate entrances from State Street and from the rear. Interior improvements involve removing the downstairs bar, constructing walls to accom- modate upstairs offices, and many construction improvements to bring the structure up to existing code. Walls will be insulated and the building will be reroofed. The unimproved alley located behind the structure will eventually provide access to the businesses. Once this alley and the "mid- block parking lot" are completed, the site should have no access or parking problems. In summary, staff finds the proposed remodelling is compatible with existing uses in the area, that the use change is a desir- able addition to the Village Area, and the use is in conformance with City standards. As a result, staff is recommending approval. III.
