The structure looks like a single-family home in a single-family district but the home has not received any building permits to convert the home to a multi-family building, nor does the city have any documentation indicating the property previously received approval to operate as a multi-family use. Applicable Regulations Before the city council may authorize an interim use,it must make the following findings: 1. The period of time for which the interim use permit is to be granted will terminate before any adverse impacts are felt upon adjacent properties. The area is rural in nature and with the conditions,no adverse impacts should be felt upon adjacent properties. The applicant also owns the property immediately to the west and plans to build a single-family home. 2. There is adequate assurance that the property will be left in suitable condition after the use is terminated. The use might not be left in a condition suitable for a single-family home upon termination of the IUP. The applicant purchased the property in its current state believing it could function as a multi-family home. If approved,when the IUP terminates the city would be back to having the property in its current condition unless the city requires conversion to a single-family home and secures an appropriate deposit to ensure compliance with the conditions. 3. The use is similar to uses allowed in the Zoning district in nrhich the property is located. Single-family residential uses are allowed in the single-family zoning district. There are no similar uses (multi- family) in the neighborhood. An IUP will ensure the use does not become a permanent use in the district. 4. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. Staff is recommending the IUP terminate upon sale or transfer of ownership. The included conditions require conversion to a single-family structure and secures an appropriate deposit to ensure compliance with the conditions, the termination of use may be identified with certainty. 5. Authorising the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. Additional costs could be incurred returning the structure back to a condition where it would not be mistaken as a multi-family structure. If the city secures an appropriate deposit to ensure compliance with the conditions, the public should not be imposed with additional costs. 6. The applicant and user agree to all conditions that the city council deems appropriate for authorization of the interim use. The IUP will need to be approved with conditions approved by the City Council. 7. The applicant provides assurances deemed adequate by the city council that the use mill terminate as provided in the interim use permit. The city council may require the applicant to deposit a cash amount with the city, or provide some other form of security, to ensure compliance with this criteria. Again, staff recommends the IUP terminate upon sale or transfer of ownership. If the city requires the conversion to a single-family structure and secures an appropriate deposit to ensure compliance with the conditions, the use can be terminated as provided in the IUP. 8. Authorization of the interim use will not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare. With the conditions,the proposed use should not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
