Cloud 9 Live/Work Units – Adaptive Reuse
Petition Number: PLNPCM2021-00001 & PLNPCM2021-01153
Zoning District: CN – Neighborhood Commercial
Council District: District 3 – Chris Wharton
Kevin Blalock, the architect and property owner is requesting Design Review & Planned Development approval for the Cloud 9 Adaptive Reuse Mixed-Use project. The subject property is approx. 2,800 square feet in size and is located in the CN – Neighborhood Commercial zoning district at 706 E. 9th Avenue. The proposed design will be an adaptive reuse of the existing building and will occupy on the same footprint. Another building story that is in-line with the existing building setbacks will be added. The intent is to create three (3) individual 3-story live/work units. Design Review is required to reduce the front and corner side yard setbacks for the added story as the existing building does not meet the required setbacks. Planned Development approval is required to approve an additional 5-feet of building height to a total building height of 30-feet due to the slope of property.
Project Location
Located at approximately 706 East 9th Avenue.
