Project Summary:
The John C. Rice House was recently relocated to 321 N. Kimball Street to a vacant lot at the northeast
corner of Kimball and Chicago. The proposed adaptive re-use for the single family home is to divide the
home into five one and two bedroom rentable apartments. Unit make up and location are:
• Two (2) basement apartments, (1) one bedroom unit and (1) two-bedroom unit.
• One (1) one bedroom unit on the first floor to be an ADA accessible apartment unit and
• Two (2) second floor apartments, (1) one bedroom and (1) two-bedroom) unit.
Rental preference for the apartments will be given to first responders, teachers, and healthcare workers
in subsequent order.
The project is seeking a special use permit to renovate the project from a single family residence into a
multi-family | commercial land use. A proposed small neighborhood retail space is also proposed for
the first floor of the dwelling.
A secondary accessory building approximately 800 sf. will be built on the property for tenant use as a
storage and laundry facility. The storage and laundry building will include 5 interior storage bays and a
dedicated laundry area with washers and dryers for tenant use only.
Exterior site improvements that are proposed in conjunction with the project provide for angled parking
stalls for tenants – 8 stalls total. Improved sidewalks within connecting to the existing perimeter
sidewalk, an outdoor BBQ area, and approximate 3700 sq. feet of open space on the nearly half acre lot.
