Project Information
COF Project Number: 6518
Applicant: Arthur Constantine
Owner: Arthur Constantine
Background/Staff Comments
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 420 Bridge Street from Civic Institutional (CI) to General Commercial (GC). The Fifth Avenue North Design Concept, as outlined in the Envision Franklin Land Use Plan, supports the proposed zoning as GC would allow for local commercial uses, professional and transitional offices to "extend the vibrant downtown core" to this established corridor. The adjacent property on the corner of Bridge Street and 5th Avenue North is already zoned GC. No corresponding site plan or development plan for the property has been submitted at this time.
Project Considerations
Project Considerations are not conditions of this approval, but are intended to highlight issues that should be considered in the overall site design or may be required when more detailed plans are submitted for review. These items are not meant to be exhaustive and all City requirements and ordinances must be met with each plan submittal.
The applicant needs to submit a plan with the assistance of a design professional to also change the existing occupancy type to the intended use. There may be considerable work to bring the building into compliance for existing or new uses.
