(Atlantic, Iowa) – The City of Atlantic’s Board of Adjustment will hold a Public Hearing Monday evening at City Hall, with regard to a Conditional Use Permit for property located at 501 Chestnut Street. The building is owned by Randy Roy, and houses his business, Randy’s Computer. The hearing begins at 5:30-p.m.

Zoning Administrator John Lund said in his meeting agenda packet, that Roy wants a permit that will allow for a single-family residence on the first story of the building abutting Chestnut Street, north of 7^th Street, in the C-3 “Central Business” District, as allowed by the Zoning Ordinances, in Atlantic.

In his Conditional Use Permit Application, Randy Roy said the main floor of his building is 6,250-square feet. There is a 2,500-square foot mezzanine that has its own bathroom and shower, and that they would like to use as a one-bedroom apartment, so he can live on-site where his business is located. The living quarters will be completely isolated from the main floor working environment. As mentioned, Randy Roy owns the building.

The Board of Adjustment will hold the public hearing and discussion prior to taking action on the permit request. Their options are to: Accept the application without conditions; Accept the application and place conditions of operation attached to the permit, or, they may reject the application entirely.

Zoning Administrator John Lund notes “All requirements for a conditional use permit must be satisfied for the permit to be granted. Failure on any one requirement should result in a rejection of the application.” He did not offer his opinion on the matter for the Board to consider.
