Regular Session 2.A 2022-11-SUP - 706 Rock St Public hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit for a Restricted Personal Service for the specific use of bail bonds service in the Mixed -Use Downtown (MU-DT) zoning district on the property located at 706 Rock St., bearing the legal description of 0.1228 acres, being parts of Lots 2 & 3, Block 42, City of Georgetown (2022-11-SUP) -- Maddison O'Kelley, Preservation and Redevelopment Manager Maddison O'Kelley presented the staff report. The Applicant was present and wished to address the Commission. Commissioner Tiland asked if this was functionally a request for a zoning change. O'Kelley clarified that a SUP is technically an overlay on the base zoning district to allow a specified use on the property. Vice -Chair Heintzmann asked what the hours of operation are and if the existing bail bond location near downtown have been "grandfathered in" so that they don't require a SUP. O'Kelley established she is unsure of the status of the existing bail bond businesses, and the Applicant could clarify their business hours. Scott Heselmeyer, Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and explained that the property will functionally not change from its use as a professional office purposes. Heselmeyer spoke to the changing business practices for bail bonds, with most work being done virtually, and it is not necessarily a foot -traffic business anymore. Heselmeyer also established that the business has been operating for a while without an approved SUP. Vice -Chair Heintzmann asked how long the business has been operating and what their hours of operation are. Heselmeyer established that the business has been operating for 6 months. Jessica Zach, 706 Rock St., Owner, approached the podium to address the Commission and established that they are a 24/7 business, but they are only in the office from 10am - 3pm, the rest being done online. Commissioner Dickey asked if there would be signage on the building. Heselmeyer established there would be a sign on the glass exterior of the door. Vice -Chair Heintzmann opened the public hearing. Linda Gusnowski, 215 W 8th St., approached the podium to address the Commission and explained that she owns the neighboring property being rented out to the business owners of To Have and To Hold. Gusnowski established that they are opposed to the operation of a bail bonds business in this area, and would much rather see a business that would promote foot traffic in the area surrounding the square, such as a restaurant or other entertainment business. Tom Guyton, 1513 Colton Way, approached the podium to address the Commission and explained that he owns the neighboring restaurant, Blue Corn Harvest, and worked on the Main Street Project and Downtown Georgetown Master Association to develop the square and surrounding downtown area into a dining and entertainment hot spot. Guyton explained that foot traffic in this area of town is encouraged and contributes to the character of Georgetown. Vice -Chair Heintzmann closed the public hearing. Alternate Allen asked for clarification on the function of a SUP. O'Kelley explained that if this SUP were to be approved, the language in the ordinance would indicate that the specific use of bail bonds would be allowed in addition to the existing allowed uses for this property's zoning of MU-DT.
