Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU G, March 24, 2000 Page 2 In November 1999, the existing office/bar/laundry/storage building (60x120) burned completely dovJn. Request The applicant has indicated That an office/laundry/gathering area for campground residents is needed, They considered remodeling their home to accommodate this need, however, the building code requirements increased the cost over the cost of constructing the proposed building. Section 900,34.9 states: No nonconforming building or structure .. ,which has been damaged by fire .. . to the extent of more than fifty (50) percent of its assessed market value shall be restored except in conformity with the regulations of this ordinance. The previous structure was completely damaged; therefore this building should not be reconstructed. However, the R1b District allows accessory structures up to 3500 square feet on parcels 5 to 10 acres in area (The proposed structure is 1 ,650 square feet). It is the intended use of the structure that creates a policy issue r'or the Planning Commission and Council to decide. While at the time the applicant submitted this application, the City did not have in place the interim use requirements, this proposal would "fit" the definition of an interim use. The applicant has indicated that the use of the property for a campground would continue for an additional ten years (approximate). This time may be shortened due to the future assessments created as part of the extension of utilities in the Western Area. Improvements are proposed for late 2000, and this parcel is proposed to be assessed for water and street improvements, Staff is concerned about the use of the proposed building for the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Since 1983, the site has held a 3.2 beer (on and off sale) license as well as a license for set-ups. In the distant past, there were issues with underage consumption, primarily at campsites. In recent years however, the applicant has worked with the Police department to self-police for underage consumption and has passed all compliance checks. Planninq Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission considered this request an interim use and recommended to the City Council approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. The approval is valid for ten years or until the property is redeveloped, whichever is sooner. 2. The building will comply with the requirements of the Chief Building Official,
