Former Masonic Temple plans

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Planning Commission on Monday April 11, 2016 will address topics concerning new developments.

A public Hearing will be held on a zone change; Lot 1, Block 2, Mill Hill 2nd Addition from C-2 (General commerical District) to R-4 (Planned Residence District).

The property is located along the 600 Block of 11th St SW.

Another Public Hearing will concern the preliminary plat of Sumac Ridge Addition, at that location a replat of a portion of Lot 1, Block 2 of Mill Hill 2nd Addition of the City of Jamestown.

The Planning Commission will also talk about zoning research at

104 3rd Street SE, the former Masonic Lodge building.

A memo from SRF Consultanting Group says, the current property owners are considering the redevelopment of the former Masonic Lodge structure located on the property.

The property is currently zoned, C-2, General Commercial District, and is consistent with the adjacent properties in the same block.

The proposed redevelopment of the site would include a single residence on the building’s upper floor and a massage and aromatherapy business.  The potential use of other portions of the building as a gathering/event space is another consideration.

The memo says,  based on a review of the three commercial districts, the existing C-2 District is appropriate for the development of a massage therapy and aroma therapy retail business and single family dwelling within the existing Masonic Temple structure.

Residential use within the structure will become nonconforming if no primary commercial use allowed within the C-2 District resides in the structure. Additionally, an event center business could be established within the structure.

The Planning Commission meeting is Monday April 11, 2016 at 8:00 a.m. at City Hall.
