He stated that there are currently two special use permits for Suite B and D. The property to the west is a Planned Development that is generally commercial in use, which is identified in the Land Use Plan. Mr. Montoia stated that staff is recommending approval. Commissioner Freeman asked what precipitated the need for a zone change. Mr. Montoia stated that the petitioner would like to have a larger number of uses in order to facilitate renting the space. He added that there are uses not allowed in OP that are allowed in the LNC and then the petitioner would not need to request a special use permit each time a new tenant is acquired. Commissioner Freeman asked what type of businesses the special use permits were for. Mr. Montoia stated that there is a beauty salon and a nail salon. Vice Chair Thompson asked how this zone change would affect the existing special use permits. Mr. Montoia stated that the special use permits would become part of the history for this location but the businesses would be an allowed use under the new zoning. Mr. Montoia stated that the larger building has two wings; and has eight single-room suites on the lower level and four larger suites on the second level. These suites share entrances and have no store front. These characteristics would limit the types of uses to office type uses. The smaller building has individual entrances for each space. Representative Bill Papich of 106 E. Gladden and Petitioner Richard Taylor of 10 Town Plaza, Durango, Colorado addressed the Commission. Mr. Papich stated he lives here locally and takes care of the building for Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor stated that he had read staff’s recommendation and has no additional comments. Mr. Taylor added that when he purchased the property the beauty and nail salon were already established businesses. He added that it wasn’t until he rented a space to a massage therapist that he became aware of that a special use permit would be required and decided to seek a zone change to allow a greater flexibility of business uses. There were no further questions by the commissioners. There was no one present to speak in favor or in opposition to this petition. There was no discussion by the commissioners.
