residential uses on the 700 block of East Hopkins to the north
from predominantly long term to predominantly short term. Staff
concludes that short-term residential use is mainly consistent in
character with this transitional block, and we support the
applicant's request for exemption from the six month minimum
' lease provision.
3. Requirement: The applicant shall demonstrate that approval
will not reduce the supply of low and moderate income housing.
Response: The applicant has submitted a letter from the former
owner's management stating the house had rented for $1,500 per
month, or approximately $1.50 per square foot exceeding the
Housing Authority's Guidelines. Further discussion with Ted
Koutsoubus indicated that during the time the house was used for
commercial purposes (flower shop) it was also an informal "crash
pad." Ann Phillips of the Housing Office has recommended that,
under the provision that a legal affidavit is produced document-
. ing the history of the house to not have been bona fide afford-
able housing within the last eighteen months, the new condominium
units should be exempt from this provision.
4. Requirement: A building inspection should be completed' to
assure compliance with fire, health and safety requirements.
Response: The building is now under construction and will be
required to meet building codes prior to issuance of -a certific-
ate of occupancy.
The applicant has requested exception from the full subdivision
process under Section 20-19(c) of the Municipal Code. It is
stated that the review standards contained in Chapter 20,
Subdivision Regulations, are redundant, serve no public purpose,
and are unnecessary with regard to the land use policies of the
City. Staff generally concurs with this argument. The Engineering
Department has requested that the subdivsion standards for storm
drainage in Section 20-17(f) be met; consequently, we are
recommending condition #4 below.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Office recommends the Planning and
Zoning Commission to recommend approval of the requested subdivi-
sion exception for the purpose of condominiumizing 710-720 East
Hyman Avenue, subject to the following conditions:
1. A subdivision exception plat shall be filed with the County
Clerk and Recorder's Office to the satisfaction of the Engineer-
ing Department and meeting the requirements in Section 20-15 of
the Municipal Code.
2. A statement of subdivision exception shall be submitted to the
satisfaction of the City Attorney prior to filing the plat.
Included in this statement shall be agreement by the applicant to
3
join any future improvement district effecting this property.
3. Prior to the hearing of this case before City Council, the
applicant shall present an affidavit to the satisfaction of the
Housing Authority confirming that the house on the site of 710-
712 E. Hyman was not used as bona fide employee housing within
the prior eighteen months. If this document is not satisfactorily
produced then the applicant shall comply with Section 20-23(d) of
the Municipal Code, presenting a proposal to reduce or eliminate
the adverse effects of condominiumization on affordable housing
for a minimum period of five years from the date of approval.
4. The applicant shall submit storm water runoff calculations and
dry well sizing performed by a registered engineer to the
satisfaction of the Engineering Department prior to issuance of a
certificate of Occupancy.
