e e e ATTACHMENT A STAFF COMMENTS , ,,' This request for a special use permit first appeared on the CDunii1 agenda on November 24, 1981. At that time the major issue before the Council was whether or not the applicant wDuld agree to meet all Building Code requirements which required substantial alterations with the interior and extetior of the structure. Staff's repDrt and prepared resolution in November recommended denial .of SP-10l (see attached resolution). This recommendation was based on the Planning Commission's concern over the character of the neighborhood being affected by the numerous alterations that wDuld diminish the future conveTsion 'of-th-e- structure back to a single family'dwelHng. After reviewing the rough plans prepared to meet Building Code requirements, staff is even mDre concerned that the propDsed alterations and use does nDt meet the conditions of the Planning Commission resolution and the standards for granting a special use permit (Section 8-130) fDr the following re~sons: 1. That the numerous cDde violations will require numerous structual modifications which will alter the "residentia111 character of the structure; 2. That because of its location -in- the cDmmuni-ty t.hat -such exterior/interior modification will have an adverse affect on adjoining properties; 3. That such a use results in additional encroachment of quasi-public use with increased traffic and noise into an established residential area; and 4. That the Building Code required ,improvements will alter the house in such a manner as to diminish its future re- use as a single family dwelling. Since November the applicant has been researching and trying tD get the approvals to spend the money to make the required Building CD de mDdifications. This time delay was requested by the applicant. However, because of the time period since the original Planning Commission review and the preparation of the plans detailing the imprDvements that were not available at the time of Planning Commission consideration, staff recDmmends that the Planning Commission be directed by the CDuncil to re-consider the application.
