Zoning district: HU-B1 Historic Urban Neighborhood Business District (same designation as neighboring corner commercial properties on Apple Street).
District purpose: Intended for commercial areas that predominantly serve the needs of nearby residential neighborhoods. Character is to remain sensitive to and compatible with surrounding residential uses. In addition to commercial uses, the district explicitly provides for single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, and small-scale multi-family dwellings.
Permitted Uses HU-B1 Table 12-1:
Residential uses permitted by right in HU-B1 (subject to density/lot-area standards): single-family dwelling, two-family dwelling, multi-family dwelling limited to a maximum of 4 units, dwelling above the ground floor, and certain other residential types (including small multi-family affordable under applicable standards).
Selected conditional uses (“C”) in HU-B1 that may be available with City Planning Commission / City Council approval (examples only): Restaurant, Fast Food; Gas Station; Funeral Home; Reception Facility; Retail Sales of Packaged Alcoholic Beverages (subject to a minimum floor-area requirement of 5,000 SF in this district); and others listed in Table 12-1.
Building configuration supporting multiple uses: Open storefront layout historically typical of neighborhood commercial corridors; small office; two half baths; single-story slab-on-grade construction with HardiPlank-type exterior.
Service and utility features: Rear roll-up garage door (approximately 10 × 11.5) suitable for deliveries, loading, storage, or workshop access; some 3-phase electrical present (advantageous for equipment-intensive uses such as catering kitchens, workshops, clinics, or light production); previous tenant used the space for furniture building, indicating the structure has accommodated workshop-style commercial activity.
Location context: Near South Claiborne Avenue and Carrollton Avenue / Leonidas Street area, with access to the Carrollton streetcar line and I-10. Neighborhood has seen steady investment consistent with other HU-B1 corner commercial nodes.
