PlanningBoard | 2011-04-25 | 2 | 9. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 9-A PLN11-0046 - Rezoning - 1348 Weber Street. A proposal to rezone a 2,738 square foot parcel from C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) to R-4 (Neighborhood Residential District). The current residential use of the site is nonconforming, which prohibits the rebuild of the structure if over 70% destroyed. The proposed change will make the existing duplex residences a conforming use, thereby allowing the applicant to rebuild the dwelling if destroyed. Brian Stanke, staff planner, presented the project. Board member Kohlstrand asked why the General Plan designation was not also changed to reflect the Zoning code change. Mr. Stanke explained that the Planning division did not support spot zoning at this time. The existing General Plan designation allows for more flexibility, should the property owner want to develop a commercial use on the ground floor in the future. Board member Kohlstrand asked that staff review the potential to clean up all areas that could benefit from rezoning and or general plan amendments. Andrew Thomas, Planning Services Manager, agreed that staff would review the potential to clean up the zoning and general plan map as time permits. Motion made by Kohlstrand, seconded by board member Ibsen, to approve the project. Approved 5-0. 9-B Use Permit - PLN11-0040 - 1408 A/B, 1410, 1412, 1414, 1418, 1420, and 1504 Encinal Avenue - Jawad Jaber. Review of a Use Permit for the operation of a variety of businesses in several retail spaces facing the public right or way, such as 1) coffee shop, 2) office space, 3) retail and 4) restaurant and 5) additional uses in a C-1, Neighborhood Business District. Pursuant to AMC 30-4.8.c.2 and 30-4.8.c.4 a Use Permit is required for the operation of businesses that are not permitted by right in the C-1, Neighborhood Business District. Approved as amended 5-0. Simone Wolter, Staff Planner, presented the project. Board member Kohlstrand appreciated the effort put forth to develop a mechanism to expedite businesses to locate here, but she was concerned that the true impact of a new business cannot be reviewed by the board. She asked what the benefit would be for a future tenant to go through this process, opposed to a tenant getting their own Use Permit. Ms. Wolter explained the genesis of the project, and explained the Zoning Compliance Determination process for the listed uses covered under this Master Use Permit. This master use permit allows for an expedited review. Board member Ibsen supports the use permit and feels comfortable with the parameters set DRAFT MEETING MINUTES 2 of 5 PLANNING BOARD 4/25/2011 | PlanningBoard/2011-04-25.pdf |
