STAFF REPORT
The Planning staff recommends approval of this request.
Luke’s Icehouse is requesting the removal of their lots at 2345 Calder from the Oaks
Historic District. The lots are occupied by a two story building that was previously used
as the office for a landscaping business and then a law office. The structure is currently
in need of repair. Luke’s wishes to save this building, repurposing it for the expansion of
their growing business. City Council voted to approve a specific use permit to expand
th
their business to this location on June 24 in ordinance #14-028.
When the Oaks Historic District was expanded south of Calder, 2335 and 2345 Calder
were included in the Oaks Historic District at the request of the previous property owner.
Since then the property at 2335 Calder was removed from the district on June 5, 2007, at
the request of the owner. This is the only remaining property fronting on the south side of
Calder that is within the expanded historic district.
On July 14, 2014, the Historic Landmark Commission voted 5:4 to approve the request.
Exhibits are attached.
