New commercial building proposed for Cornell

A neighborhood meeting was held on October 22 for a proposed 3,500 sq. ft. building with half retail and half office use. It is proposed to replace the wood-frame building that was a chiropractic office and hair salon. A dentist bought it and intends to establish a dental office, along with retail space for lease.

As noted in the minutes from the meeting, the owner of the adjacent building likes the design, which includes a brick facade similar to the one on his building.

The property is in the TO:RC (Transit Oriented Retail Commercial District) zone, which requires certain standards to be met, including setback, floor-to-area ratios, and parking.

The developer, Scott Emmett of EmmetPhair Construction, will now prepare an application to the county Land Use and Transportation Division. Once the application is accepted by the county, public comments will be solicited. We’ll keep you posted.
