PLANNING & ZONING APRIL 26. 1988 MCDONALD CONDITIONAL USE AND SPECIAL REVIEW (CON1.1 MOTION Jasmine: I would entertain a motion to recommend histor ic designation of this property with the dwelling unit being considered an accessory use to the restaurant operation with the intention that the dwelling unit be primarily for the use of the present owner/managers but that they would have the option to their "employees of the restauran~ and that therefore they are fulfilling the employee housing requirement although not at any particular income level and that they would have the opportunity to have caretakers or rentals in there should it be necessary for them to leave town. David: I so move. Michael: will not on that. So long as there is an accessory use there that there be condominiumization. There should be that provision David: I so amend my motion. Roger: There are other issues we should discuss. Jasmine: The other issues fall under conditional use. Steve: Yea. You could just deal with them under conditional use if you feel comfortable with the designation. Roger: I second the motion. Jasmine asked if there was further discussion. The motion is to recommend historic designation of this property recognizing that the dwelling is an accessory use primarily intended for the owners/managers of the restaurant who are also the employees of the restaurant. And that therefor they are fulfilling an employee housing requirement but not necessarily at a particular income level and that they would have the right to rent out the dwelling unit should conditions arise which make that necessary and that as long as the property during the period of this conditional use is not to be condominiumized. . Cindy: So they have the ability to rent it out and it does not have to be rented out to an employee of the community. Jasmine: It should be rented out to a long term resident of the community. . PZM4.26.88 Cindy: It depends on what your intent is. Jasmine: As opposed to a short term. David: I think that what we are saying is by are not condominiumizing it, we are putting it as a dwelling unit of the business--kind of an accessory use. And then by not putting any kind of lease restrictions on it they could if they were in the off season and they close the restaurant they could rent it out to somebody. But basically you put it as an accessory use to the restaurant, it kind of ties in. Jasmine: We could put more specifically "And specifically not intended for short term tourist use". Cindy: Is it not intended for that or is it specifically really intended that it somehow is going to provide housing without any price restriction on it to someone who is a permanent resident of the community. Jasmine: Well, the idea that generally it is going to be the people themselves living in it. And if they have to leave town and need somebody to take care of it--they aren't going to be there for a couple of months and want to rent it out, I don't think anybody sees a problem with that. Chances it would be a long term resident. They are not going to hire somebody who just comes in from Oklahoma to take care of their house. Cindy: In the guidelines it does talk about--I have worked with some condominiumization in the County out at ABC but what happened there is they didn't want to condominiumize it and let people just rent it short term or people outside of the community. They wanted to hold it as housing that would be providing housing for the permanent residents of the community. So they just said you have to be a resident of the community in order to rent this space. But being a permanent resident of the community really means having been here for 30 days and working in the community. That is all it means. Michael: What happens if they hire a cook and he comes in and they leave to California and he lives there? Cindy: If he hired him, he lives there and that is great. It would meet that criteria. Mad: I am not even sure we should specify all that stuff. I don't know why we can't just be happy that they are not going to condominiumize it and just approve the conditional use. 2 PZM4.26.88 Michael: I agree. Jasmine: We have a motion on the floor and we do have a second. So we can certainly take a vote on it. Michael: resident? Does your motion include a long term permanent David: I don't think that any of us have wanted to restrict it any more than just saying it is an accessory use connected to the restaurant and won't be condominiumized. All those things cover the short term. It is not condominiumized and can't sell it off and all the other things that we see that we don't want. Roger: You left only one thing out and that is that by it being accessory use of the restaurant that we have found that that satisfies the employee housing requirement. David: As an accessory use of the restaurant satisfies employee requirement. Steve: One of the concerns about it is the enforceability of it and the mechanism of creating this animal--this is a recommendation to the city Council who is going to take some zoning action and I think that the most pertinent question is to ask the applicants if this is something they are basically comfortable with and willing to volunteer as part of the historic designation in order to do the restaurant. Caroline: It is my understanding that saying accessory use isn't limi ting us to if we had to leave town and wanted somebody to stay in the place it is not limiting us to who we have, how much we charge, when it is or any of that. This statement is the criteria in saying that as long as we have conditional use we will never condominiumize the property which is totally acceptable and understandable for us. Steve: So this action assumes that the follow up would be that at Council level, you would actually prepare a legal instrument restricting the unit. Scott: We would present a notarized statement to that effect. Jasmine: So we have a motion to which the applicant has agreed. I will submit it to a vote: All voted in favor of the motion. 3
