Description

Presenting a truly exceptional offering—1.82 acres of prime land, distinguished by its RG-2/C-PO zoning (Commercial/Professional Office) and limitless potential. Perfectly positioned in a sought-after location, this property offers a rare opportunity to create an impressive professional presence, whether through a bespoke office complex, a premier medical or wellness facility, or an elegant mixed-use development. Currently, the property features two separate entrances: The residential side offers a well-appointed kitchen, a half bath, a spacious primary bedroom with a full bath, a grand great room, and an inviting dining room—ideal for live-work arrangements or executive accommodations. The second entrance is designed for professional use, featuring a half bath, a welcoming foyer or waiting area, and an upper level complete with a check-out area, an additional waiting room, two treatment rooms, and a full bath. The expansive grounds invite refined architectural design, with ample space for sophisticated landscaping, generous parking, and striking curb appeal. Combining prestige, flexibility, and an enviable setting, this property is a rare canvas for an extraordinary vision—where business excellence and timeless design converge. The property is zoned C-PO (Commercial and Professional Office Zone) and has the following uses permitted by right: Business, professional or governmental offices Banks Medical laboratories Drive-in facilities accessory to any permitted use The CPO zone also has a number of Conditional uses including: i. Cafeteria ii. Restaurant iii. Barbershop/beauty shop iv. Copy center v. Office supply vi. Retail store vii. Newsstand viii. Spa and health club ix. Associated laboratories (other than those affiliated with permitted medical uses) x. Residential uses as follows: Apartments and multifamily residences, provided at least two off-street parking spaces shall be provided for each unit One family residences subject to the requirements of the RG-1 (General Residence) zone. The existing use on the property of a “medical spa” has previously been looked at as a medical (professional) office and was therefore allowed to remain on site. Because the residence existed before the property adopted C-PO Zoning in 1993, it is considered legally nonconforming and would be allowed to remain on site, assuming the following conditions: -The nonconforming use is not stopped for a period of more than a year -The nonconformity is not expanded or modified, for potential buyers, that means that they may not make major home renovations, and may not expand the footprint of the existing home without going through the conditional use process which includes visits to the Planning Department in order to get the nonconforming residential use listed as an allowed conditional use on the property. The alley known as “June Lane” was dedicated to the City in October 1992. The alley is currently not up to the current City Code provisions, which would require a minimum of a 16-foot-wide alley. June Lane is a 15-foot-wide alley. Any redevelopment of this property or future development using June Lane to access adjacent parcels would likely require improvements to June Lane.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
