Ms. Merideth Hildreth: Presented Case 22-011 SUP
Chair Storey: Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor of Case 22-011 SUP?
In Favor:
Juana Luna requested approval of the Special Use Permit for a special events hall for
small events.
Chair Storey: Is there anyone wishing to speak against Case 22-011 SUP?
Against:
Margarita Zavala spoke in opposition stating that is renovating nearby properties. Ms.
Zavala spoke about the on-street parking and the noise from the property when
previous owners conducted church services and is concerned about the same issues
occurring if the property is used as an event hall.
Staff Comments:
Mr. Kevin Maevers mentioned that according to Zoning Ordinance, the property
provides more parking spaces than required. The use as a Special Events Hall will be an
intermittent use. Staff understand the property owner’s concerns, but Staff does not
view the occasional events as a nuisance to the neighborhood. A vacant building that is
in disuse and falls into disrepair is a far more detrimental situation than having a use
where owners are maintaining and taking care of the property.
