If you have had any ex parte contact with the applicant or anyone, other than City Staff, then you must disclose that contact and the nature of that contact. In the event that you have already made up your mind regarding the subject of this hearing and cannot rely on the evidence presented to make that decision, then you must disclose that fact.

Comment Letters Summary Statement: Staff Report 1504 Wine Country Road Rezone Applicant was notified of a code violation in which a duplex had been illegally converted into a 4 plex. Applicant was advised that the current zoning did not allow for a 4 plex. Applicant has submitted an application for a site specific rezone at 1504 Wine Country Road from Residential Medium Density (RM) to Residential High Density (RH). If the rezone is approved applicant would then be required to submit plans and comply with Building and Fire Code to convert the Duplex into a 4 Plex.

The following Comprehensive Plan policies support the request for a rezone. Policy H-3.2 Policy H-3.3 Policy H-4.5 Policy H-4.6 Policy H-3.2. Locate High Density Residential within a reasonable distance of schools, employment centers, and transportation systems, and provide urban services, including water, sewer, utilities, drainage, emergency services, and garbage disposal deemed necessary to high-density residential development. Policy H-3.3. Require Multi-family development to have direct access to adequate streets. Policy H-4.5. Encourage residential uses that support increased densities, while maintaining the single-family character of existing neighborhoods, such as duplexes, multi-generational housing, and cottage housing. Policy H-4.6. Encourage higher density single-family neighborhoods near commercial centers and other facilities/services to encourage pedestrian, rather than vehicular circulation. Staff has no objections to the proposed rezone and has advised the owner of the requirements needed to convert the duplex to a legal 4 plex, including but not limited to providing additional off street parking spaces, creating fire separations as required in the IBC and Fire Code, and altering egress doors and windows as required. Staff received one comment letter but believes that the concerns would be addressed at the time of building permit with the addition of additional off street parking. Consistent with Council Goal: Goal #1: Livability & Quality of Life Recommended Action/Suggested Motion: Staff recommends approval of the proposed site specific rezone at 1504 Wine Country Road from Residential Medium Density (RM) to Residential High Density (RH).
