Planning Commission Page 3 <br /> January 28,2020 <br /> S Commissioner Jordan asked if the Planning Commission denied the zone change, <br /> what would happen to the people who may currently be living at the property. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg stated he believed there were people living in the property. <br /> Commissioner Larson-Vito asked if the applicant could be given an opportunity to <br /> withdraw the application so he wouldn't have to wait six months to reapply for an <br /> IUP. She stated she is hesitant to deny something that would hold up the applicant <br /> reapplying if all the options were presented and discussed and was surprised that the <br /> applicant is making this request. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg stated they discussed all the options with the applicant,who preferred <br /> to only have two units. <br /> Chair Johnson stated the way to review this application is they make a <br /> recommendation to the City Council and hope the applicant attends the council <br /> meeting. <br /> Commissioner Ovall again asked why the Planning Commission was recommending <br /> denial. <br /> Chair Johnson stated the reason they were recommending denial was based upon <br /> III <br /> spot zoning. <br /> Commissioner Ovall asked why they discussed allowing two units as an option if <br /> they're not going to recommend approval. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg stated the Planning Commission,while not in support of spot zoning, <br /> would consider recommending approval of two units and noted staff was not in <br /> support of either spot zoning or approval of two units. <br /> Commissioner Thiel stated with this, the Planning Commission has to make a <br /> recommendation based upon what was presented to them,but the neighborhood is <br /> in a single-family neighborhood. He stated he doesn't feel a strong obligation to <br /> figure out a solution for a property owner who had an opportunity to seek due <br /> diligence and figure out what he was buying before purchase. <br /> Chair Johnson stated this property has been operating under a legal non-conforming <br /> use for many years. <br /> Commissioner Larson-Vito stated she moved into the neighborhood in 2016 and <br /> stated it's very clear there are two different families living in the property. She stated <br /> she wanted to be careful they aren't making assumptions of the property,asking if <br /> there had been any code review of the property. <br /> 4111 Mr. Leeseberg stated as previously discussed at last month's meeting,a similar <br /> property located across Highway 10 was also set up as a multi-family property,but <br /> ► eriar • ® r <br /> NATURE <br />
