Mr. Hrabik asked for more details regarding the extent of the proposed remodel. Chairwoman

Special Use Permit request for the motel.
With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Wilson, to

Discussion.
Mr. Hrabik asked for more details regarding the extent of the proposed remodel. Mr. Honaker
stated that the remodel would involve the installation of new flooring, upgraded bathrooms and
kitchens, windows in the bedrooms, and the addition of can lights.
Mr. Hrabik noted his understanding that fire code requires the installation of a fire protection
system if the property is remodeled fifty percent or more. He advocated that the property should
be brought into compliance with the current International Building Code ( IBC) to show a full
commitment by the applicant. Mr. Honaker noted that the installation of hard wired smoke
detectors was reasonable; however, the installation of a sprinkler system would be both costly
and burdensome.
Mr. Masters asked whether it is necessary that the applicant remodel the property more than fifty
percent as Mr. Hrabik suggested. Mr. Stursma stated that Special Use Permit approval does not
waive any requirements of the building, fire, or electrical code. He noted that these requirements
would be analyzed at the time of building permit. He added that the applicant likely does not want
to make a significant investment in improving the property without the entitlements in place to
operate as a multiple- family residential use.
Mr. Hrabik asked when the extent of the remodel would be determined. Mr. Stursma noted that
this would be determined at the time of building permit review by the Chief Building Official or his

designee. In addition, the request before the Commission is regarding the use of the property, not
the internal remodel.

Honaker answered in the affirmative.
With no further discussion, Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Masters, to
recommend approval of the Liberty Lodge Special Use Permit ( SUP- 20- 0007) because it is
generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with adjacent uses, compliant with
Zoning Regulations should City Council approve Ordinance No. 1912 and Ordinance No. 1924,
