I trust 66 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:35,370 this one more. This is a special use permit request by the applicant John Armstrong from 67 00:05:35,370 --> 00:05:41,050 Silver Street Capital LLC to allow the renovation of three multi-family apartment buildings 68 00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:43,710 and the Southeast Urbana overlay district. 69 00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:51,070 It's in the R5 medium high density multiple family residential, so all three of these 70 00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:56,830 buildings would be permitted by right in general, in this case it's just the specific requirements 71 00:05:56,830 --> 00:05:59,690 of the overlay district that we'll talk about a little bit more. 72 00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:13,050 It was added to the zoning ordinance as section 13-8 on July 10, 2017, section 13 are kind of all of our kind of special development regulations. 73 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:26,690 According to the staff report from when it was added as a tax amendment, it was in response to a 2015 study called silver and water area safety planning solutions, which 74 00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:31,410 Introduced criteria to evaluate multi-family residential 75 00:06:31,410 --> 00:06:36,090 developments through CPTED principles, which is crime prevention through 76 00:06:36,090 --> 00:06:42,470 environmental design. Those will primarily focus on things like lighting, 77 00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:47,150 visibility, eyes on the street, and just kind of maintaining kind of openness 78 00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:52,670 in the streetscape. For through CPTED, or through the Southeastern 79 00:06:52,670 --> 00:06:57,770 and overly district, they special use permits required for any construction of a new principle 80 00:06:57,770 --> 00:07:03,490 use multiple family residential structure, increasing the building footprint or the 81 00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:08,730 floor area ratio of an existing multiple family residential structure by more than 15 percent, 82 00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:14,510 or in this case, renovations of a multiple family residential structure that would result in an 83 00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:20,570 estimated construction cost of more than 50 percent of the current estimated market value of the 84 00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:26,990 improvements on the property as calculated by the county assessor. There are other 85 00:07:26,990 --> 00:07:29,970 properties that are being renovated as part of like the larger. 86 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,080 For project, these were the only three that met that 50% threshold requiring a special use permit. 87 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:50,300 Additionally, the Southeast Urbana overlay district goes into specific guidelines for construction, kind of looking at those design principles across different categories that will be unpacked a little bit later. 88 00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:55,030 This is a map of the site. 89 00:07:55,150 --> 00:07:59,150 We have 1302, 1304 on the north side of the street on silver 90 00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:03,010 between Fletcher and Vauder, with 1401, 91 00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:06,990 a few lots of way on the south side of the street. 92 00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:10,890 So it's along the Filo Road corridor, 93 00:08:11,490 --> 00:08:14,130 just kind of north of Harding is Colorado, 94 00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:16,810 where it's just kind of the L-shaped 95 00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:19,830 that the southeast or Bano overlay district forms, 96 00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:27,870 as shown here. So here's Harding, which is the north extent of the previous map. 97 00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:34,770 The area is predominantly residential, especially within this out these Serbano Overlaid District. 98 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:40,090 There's a lot of multifamily development, because that was the kind of intention of the Overlaid District, 99 00:08:40,370 --> 00:08:46,110 which is characteristic. Over along Phylo, we do have more of a commercial district. 100 00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:50,550 So, this larger red block is the U.H. self-storage. 101 00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:55,910 The both purples are also storage as this is Quest Church. 102 00:08:57,130 --> 00:09:00,970 So, the Filo Accord or has a lot more kind of diverse range of activity, 103 00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:03,250 but this neighborhood is primarily residential. 104 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:15,860 These lots are five because they form like of that L-shaped kind of the southern edge of it. 105 00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:23,260 So we do have our three zone properties to the west and to the south of the subject, parcels. 106 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:29,260 Most of those are going to be single family homes, doplexes, and there's a couple that are 107 00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:30,740 classified as condominiums, 108 00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,660 so definitely kind of a liminal space between the more multi-family 109 00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:39,960 and single family in this neighborhood area. 110 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:47,280 And then the along the phyllo corridor, most of the businesses are zoned B3, with some 111 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,800 R4, I'm usually 4, there's a few churches along the corridor that are zoned R4. 112 00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,200 According to Imagineer Bana, the Southeast Urbana overlay district has a place type of neighborhood 113 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,900 2, which is designed for a mix of housing, including single family homes, doplexes, and apartment buildings. 114 00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:16,280 So we do feel that the development is appropriate for that place type, though on all three 115 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:22,100 of these buildings were built between 1968 and 1970, and of primarily served as multi-family 116 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,300 apartments since that time. 117 00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:32,600 This is an aerial photo from Eagle View showing kind of the neighborhood 118 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:40,300 from above to kind of speak to the earlier point about the single family and apartment composition 119 00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:45,620 of this area. I would just kind of point out the parking lots in general if you see parking 120 00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:49,700 lots that is more likely to be an apartment building where we get down into the driveways 121 00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:56,180 first and will family and doplexes kind of surrounding it. But you can see the apartment buildings 122 00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:59,020 along these blocks here. 123 00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:08,650 This is a photo of 1302 from the southeast. You can see the 124 00:11:08,650 --> 00:11:13,930 apartment building has 12 units, six on the first floor, six on the upper floor. Each 125 00:11:13,930 --> 00:11:18,590 unit has a door in a window facing in this case south towards the street. 126 00:11:21,770 --> 00:11:24,090 1304 is effectively identical, 127 00:11:26,590 --> 00:11:29,130 so you can see the same six units, the same six windows, 128 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:35,690 steps kind of coming from the north side here. And then this is the parking lot serving 129 00:11:35,690 --> 00:11:41,790 both of the buildings, you can see 1304 on the left, 1302 on the right, and this parking 130 00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:48,610 lots on the north side that they share. There's access points kind of on the far side of 131 00:11:49,150 --> 00:11:57,090 1302 and between 1302 and 1304 and then on this side of 1304. Just because things like 132 00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,410 windows and visibility are going to become more talking points during the guidelines for 133 00:12:01,410 --> 00:12:04,890 construction, I'll also point out each unit has a window facing the parking lot. 134 00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:09,790 This is 1301 silver 135 00:12:09,790 --> 00:12:17,310 street, which is just somewhat of a block away on the south side of the street. The key difference 136 00:12:17,310 --> 00:12:25,150 here, you see the same doors, the same windows. 14 on one does have 11 units instead of 12. 137 00:12:27,390 --> 00:12:34,150 And you can also see just an interest of transparency. We like work has started on the 138 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:40,550 buildings, just due to the timeline for development and the staffing of the planning department 139 00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:44,490 at the time that these conversations were happening, the requirement for the special use 140 00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:50,470 permit was something that was realized of it later in the process, just for full disclosure. 141 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:58,990 This is the parking lot for 1401 Silver Street, so this is south of the building. 142 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,440 This is 143 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,640 construction given under the Southeast Urbana overlay district requirements. 144 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,600 One is pedestrian access networks and points that just saying that development patterns 145 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,120 are appropriate and of human scale for pedestrians, access provisions that are connected 146 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:29,000 in continuous without the need to cross barriers to and from sidewalks, carports, parking 147 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,420 lots, bus stops, entrances and exits of buildings. 148 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,000 I would point out that on the second floor there are like safety rails, but on the first floor, 149 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000 any of the units are accessible, kind of along any point, there's no bottlenecks being formed there. 150 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:49,320 And the paths certainly to and from the parking, between the buildings and the parking lot and the buildings in the street are all 151 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:56,200 appropriately human-scaled, there's no kind of super auto oriented infrastructure to have to traverse. 152 00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:05,960 Landscaping and screening, each special use permit shall include a landscape plan indicating the type number, size and location of trees, shrubs, 153 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,040 in any other landscaping features to be retained or provided. 154 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,040 The use of low maintenance landscaping is encouraged, 155 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,660 placement of landscape materials should be such 156 00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:16,440 that it does not interfere with the sight lines. 157 00:14:16,660 --> 00:14:19,080 For example, shrubs should be no higher than three feet tall, 158 00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:21,460 and tree canopy shall be no lower than eight feet, 159 00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:23,180 especially around entryways and windows. 160 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,400 Kind of as shown in those pictures, all three properties have 161 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,300 some trees out front, but otherwise no really excessive shrubs 162 00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:32,680 are landscaping. 163 00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:35,940 The applicants can speak a bit more to what work has been done, 164 00:14:35,940 --> 00:14:39,260 at the site but I believe that a good amount 165 00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:41,420 of that was cleaned up earlier in the process. 166 00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:44,300 It is listed as yellow in large part 167 00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,740 because, and I apologize, I got more information 168 00:14:47,740 --> 00:14:51,140 about the future plans for the site's landscaping. 169 00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:54,440 Just a little after the presentation I've been made. 170 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,160 But in general, the applicant can speak to 171 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,860 what those plans will look like. 172 00:14:59,860 --> 00:14:59,980 You 173 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:14,480 Mostly involves kind of small, appropriately sized shrubs along rock beds. So I find it to be compliant with those requirements and would list it as green head. I had that information a little sooner. 174 00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:20,600 Blank facage should be avoided to encourage natural surveillance of the area. 175 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,220 As a general guideline, no more than one-third of the facage should be blank. 176 00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:30,120 In addition, windows that look out on out streets and alleys should not be blocked by landscaping. 177 00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:32,500 I would find that to be the case here. 178 00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:39,200 There were windows facing the street facing the parking lot, kind of reinforcing that eyes on the street design sensibility. 179 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:52,640 Lighting shall be appropriately placed in oriented and should not result in excessive, shadow or glare, for example pedestrian access network should not have unnecessarily tall upwards facing lighting. 180 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,220 Lighting fixtures should be well spaced and kept in good working order. 181 00:15:56,340 --> 00:16:05,120 Ali's walkways and parking lot should be well lit. Lighting should be placed in outdoor common spaces and apartment lobbies and should reflect the intended hours of operation. 182 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,240 Motion sensing lightings are optimal for these common areas. 183 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:20,080 There is lighting outside of each of the units and lighting in the parking lots, also lighting improvements where a major part of the scope for the renovations. 184 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:28,280 Enterprises and exits should be clearly visible and well lit both internally and externally without excessive shadow or glare. 185 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,320 Entrance as an exit should be located such that they can be clearly legible from the street signage should be clearly 186 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,960 legible from the street with lobbies that are visible from the outside, RSS store where it should be avoided. 187 00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:45,180 There's a few other buildings in the district that do have like secured entrances with a more traditional lobby. 188 00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:53,060 I do believe that this requirement is speaking more towards that layout of building instead of unis that open directly onto the street. 189 00:16:55,540 --> 00:17:02,800 However, still like signage was visible, there isn't those types of, I felt those guidelines 190 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,420 were still being that, particularly considering the renovation of an existing structure. 191 00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:13,760 A thoughtful separation between public and private properties should be created, taking 192 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,480 into consideration, fencing, landscaping, screening, and sight lines. 193 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,020 These distinctions may be made using features, such as low walls, fencing, seating, 194 00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:27,360 landscape features and changes of material and texture, unnecessarily high fences and 195 00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:32,600 keep out signs should be avoided. The design of the sites is open, it's accessible. 196 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:40,380 There is plans to introduce fencing between the two buildings at 1302 and 1304, but that's 197 00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:45,200 going to be a kind of see-through fence. And it's primarily just there so that if anyone wanted 198 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,800 to play with a ball that might roll, there's a thing that would stop it from rolling into the street. 199 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,160 But I don't feel it's introducing any accessibility barriers or safety concerns. 200 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,740 The use of context appropriate durable and low maintenance building materials are encouraged, 201 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040 materials should also be graffiti and vandalism resistant. 202 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,840 In the case of the renovation of an existing building, the materials are a bit fixed. 203 00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:16,280 I'm sure the applicant can also answer any follow-up questions there. 204 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:24,400 And then natural imperatives, additional items not listed here in, shall be considered to promote healthy behaviors and reduce mental fatigue. 205 00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:40,380 These can include such measures as providing adequate natural lighting, ventilation for fresh air, additional landscaping and access to water features and addition proximity to bus stop locations, provision of tentative amenities and access to exercise equipment can improve health outcomes. 206 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,760 The design I do feel is generally open, it is accessible from the street. 207 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,780 There is a regular transit service along this route, so we felt that that was met. 208 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,440 And the final one is security. 209 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,720 The installation of appropriately placed security cameras is encouraged, such as in stairwells 210 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,160 and elevators and other locations where sight lines may be blocked or which may feel isolated. 211 00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:09,040 Elements should be employed which help to clearly define private property from the public domain 212 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,840 and when considering fencing, medium to low heights and use of transparent durable material 213 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,940 should be considered. 214 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:23,480 The planned fence is, I would say, of medium height, and it's kind of, it's see-through, 215 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,620 not like a brick fence, you know, just kind of the rod iron look. 216 00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:35,440 We don't have photos because it's not been installed yet, but it certainly maintains that 217 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,020 and also improvements to security cameras are in the scope of the renovations for the 218 00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:39,400 building. 219 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:47,360 But in addition to those guidelines for criteria, it is guidelines for a construction, 220 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,120 it is still a special use permit. So the same three guidelines for special use permits would 221 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:59,020 hold. The first is that the proposed uses conducive to the public good at that location. I would 222 00:19:59,020 --> 00:20:04,620 say certainly in light of the fact that this area has primarily been multifamily apartment buildings 223 00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:08,420 for over 50 years that that criteria is met. 224 00:20:08,620 --> 00:20:13,940 Similarly, the proposed uses design located and proposed to be operated so that it will not be 225 00:20:13,940 --> 00:20:18,820 unreasonably injurious or detrimental to the district in which it shall be located, or otherwise 226 00:20:18,820 --> 00:20:20,100 injurious to the public. 227 00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:26,200 Largely the same reasoning holds, so I think also the fact that it's taking existing buildings 228 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,100 and renovating them to improve those buildings in the area around them. 229 00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:39,880 And the proposed use conforms to the applicable regulations and standards of and preserves the essential character of the district in which it shall be located. 230 00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:46,200 The building like the buildings as they exist meet all relevant zoning requirements. 231 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:48,640 Yes. 232 00:20:50,340 --> 00:21:04,340 And the context of Imagineer Banna, big move one is to address her Banna's diverse housing needs with the sub-little move 1.8 of allowing a variety of housing types and every neighborhood scales appropriate to each neighborhood. 233 00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:11,080 This would contribute to the housing stock of the neighborhood, kind of addressing both of those moves. 234 00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:20,040 Big move seven is to promote incremental development, and little move seven point one is to identify and resolve barriers to incremental and infill development. 235 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:31,940 Because this is rehabbing structures in a developed neighborhood, it's kind of taking those areas and maintaining housing stock. 236 00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:40,980 And then little move 8.3 is to prioritize development and areas already served by services and infrastructure, which is of course the case here. 237 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,820 So as a summary of findings, the proposed use would be conducive to the public location. 238 00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:53,960 public convenience as the location in surrounding district and currently form a buffer of medium 239 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,960 and high-density apartments along Colorado and Filo kind of filling out that southeast or 240 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,360 ban a district before it transitions to the single family, how does housing further south and west. 241 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,900 The proposed project would not be injurious or detrimental to the R5 zoning district as 242 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:15,620 a use that would be permitted by right. The proposed project would conform to the regulations and 243 00:22:15,620 --> 00:22:19,040 of the R5-Zoning District and would preserve its essential character. 244 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560 The clinic doesn't alter the built form of the apartment buildings, 245 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,900 which have been kind of staples in the community for a long time. 246 00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:29,960 The proposed project implements the requirements of the construction guidelines. 247 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,820 And so the south-east urban overlay district, acknowledging that those guidelines are written for both 248 00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:44,100 development of new buildings and renovations. So there's clearly those guidelines would 249 00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:50,400 be applied differently in those two circumstances. But the proposed project is generally consistent 250 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,340 with the Imagineer Vanna Comprehensive Plan in the place types designation of neighborhood 251 00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:59,300 to which is designed for residential and including apartment buildings. 252 00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:08,530 Because there are two plan cases for each one, the plan commission has the ability to 253 00:23:08,530 --> 00:23:13,390 recommend approval of the special use permit without any conditions to recommend approval 254 00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:18,310 of the special use permit with any conditions deemed appropriate or necessary for the public health 255 00:23:18,310 --> 00:23:23,790 safety and welfare and carry out the purposes of the city's municipal code or to recommend 256 00:23:23,790 --> 00:23:27,790 a Nile of the Special Use Permit. If the Plan Commission elects to do so, it will 257 00:23:27,790 --> 00:23:29,990 must articulate the findings supporting its denial. 258 00:23:33,130 --> 00:23:34,170 Staff recommends that the Plan 259 00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:42,730 Commission recommend approval of the Special Use Permit for Plan Case 2530-SU-26 and recommends 260 00:23:42,730 --> 00:23:46,290 that the Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposed Special Use Permit and Plan 261 00:23:46,290 --> 00:23:53,690 Case number 2531-SU-26. We do have kind of the standard language of recommending 262 00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:59,330 approval given that the final project looked like the proposed guidelines and meets the scope 263 00:23:59,330 --> 00:24:02,050 of what was presented in the application, 264 00:24:04,090 --> 00:24:06,430 which is always worth including, but we don't 265 00:24:06,430 --> 00:24:09,930 propose any additional conditions on top of that at this time. 266 00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:16,860 All right, thank you, Mr. Alvarez. Any questions for staff, 267 00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,960 Mr. Fell. It was a building permit 268 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,460 issue here? 269 00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:33,200 The building permit, I believe, the building permit was issued in advance of the special 270 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,100 use permit because we were at the time weren't aware of this requirement. 271 00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:45,580 Yeah, the question is for staff, Mr. Rez. 272 00:24:45,580 --> 00:24:50,260 For clarification, 273 00:24:53,240 --> 00:25:15,460 the staff has recommended gone through the elements of the overlay district if I understand correctly and the green and yellow squares indicate that in view of the staff, these conditions have been met. 274 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:29,560 We have not been presented with plans for the property for us to make a determination of 275 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:36,160 whether the conditions have been met, help me understand where we are, please. 276 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:44,360 Correct, so because it's not new construction and the layout of the building is 277 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:52,540 remaining effectively unchanged. It's largely interior updates. A traditional site plan wasn't 278 00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:59,160 like part of the normal process that we would have here. The applicant can speak more to 279 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,380 the scope of the upgrades or the renovations that they primarily focus on things like lighting 280 00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:12,980 and security, which was in line with what the guidelines for construction and the larger CPTED criteria 281 00:26:12,980 --> 00:26:14,680 Yeah, we're informing. 282 00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:17,060 Thank you. 283 00:26:19,660 --> 00:26:21,160 Any other questions for staff? 284 00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:23,720 Miss Ha? 285 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Yeah, can you provide a little bit more context of, 286 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,280 I think the thing that triggered this process 287 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,580 was investment of 50% more than the assessed value 288 00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:37,860 requires the special use permit. 289 00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:44,680 Is there something special about 50% or investing a large sum 290 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:51,540 money that would meet the criteria of prime prevention like what what is that trying to address? 291 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,520 That is an excellent question. 292 00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:03,480 If I had to hazard a guess, because the part of the ordinance 293 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,420 was kind of stemming from a 2015 intern project. 294 00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:15,730 By in general there's enough sections of the zoning 295 00:27:15,730 --> 00:27:24,350 ordinance that apply to either new construction or like to make allowances for if a large 296 00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:29,130 enough change happens. For example, if a new principal structure is a bill, the parking lot 297 00:27:29,130 --> 00:27:37,350 then has to become compliant. You know, just different changes can trigger moving into compliance. 298 00:27:37,890 --> 00:27:42,390 And I believe it was an attempt to mirror that same sensibility in this part of the zoning 299 00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:42,890 or more. 300 00:27:47,730 --> 00:27:49,090 Any other questions for staff? 301 00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:51,470 Okay, I'll ask a couple. 302 00:27:52,570 --> 00:27:56,810 So just going back to the guidelines, they're termed guidelines, I guess they're kind 303 00:27:56,810 --> 00:28:00,950 of criteria in the section of the zoning ordinance for the overlay district. 304 00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:10,210 It doesn't explicitly say that all have to be met, but is that staffs sort of take on 305 00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:15,010 how to read the ordinance that all have to be met or is it that they generally need to 306 00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:16,050 and compliance? 307 00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:24,430 Given the renovation of the existing structure, there's a lot of things that absolutely can 308 00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:29,470 be improved on and brought into compliance for things like lighting or things like landscaping. 309 00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:35,930 Things like the facades are largely, those are largely fixed. 310 00:28:36,190 --> 00:28:43,290 They can be changed, but typically at great expense, it's the opinion of staff and the community 311 00:28:43,290 --> 00:28:50,090 development director that in this case, we used the guidelines for construction to determine 312 00:28:50,090 --> 00:28:57,610 whether the sites were being meaningfully improved, and that was the real goalpost that 313 00:28:57,610 --> 00:29:04,270 was being used for approval. I, in general, looking at the guidelines, certainly don't see anything 314 00:29:04,270 --> 00:29:10,430 that is like that would weren't being read. Something where, hey, the natural design of this building 315 00:29:10,430 --> 00:29:14,670 where the scope of the renovations is clearly against one of the guidelines. 316 00:29:15,270 --> 00:29:20,630 I would say they're brought into, they are met in different ways based on what was appropriate 317 00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:29,430 for the scale of renovations. So I think to answer the question clearly, a lot of them aren't terribly 318 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:36,510 concrete and a lot of them aren't terribly flexible when renovating and existing building. 319 00:29:37,370 --> 00:29:43,010 We certainly did consider all of them, but a lot of them are somewhat subjective. 320 00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:50,730 I would view them more as considerations of the larger criteria of crime prevention 321 00:29:50,730 --> 00:29:58,490 through environmental design and that, as a larger lens, is what should be considered in 322 00:29:58,490 --> 00:29:59,970 the spirit of this section of the zone. 323 00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:28,360 Okay, thanks. And then one other just kind of procedural question. So we should, when we get to the point of making a motion, we should take a motion for, we should treat each of these cases separately. So a motion for the first case for 1302 or 1304 and then a motion for the second one. Correct. They can both happen in like the same section at the end of the joint public hearing, but they would need to be to separate both. 324 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,400 Okay, I just wanted to confirm that. 325 00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:31,100 Okay, great. 326 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,540 Thank you. 327 00:30:36,220 --> 00:30:39,940 So do we have a petitioner that wants to address the commission? 328 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240 Sorry, I didn't catch a name at any point. 329 00:30:54,140 --> 00:30:55,680 Is it here, okay? Would you like me to? 330 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:01,340 Okay. 331 00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:05,340 I'm going to if you can just press the button and make sure the green lights on. 332 00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:07,580 Good evening and thank you for your time. 333 00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:08,700 My name is John Armstrong. 334 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,080 I'm the President of Silver Street Capital. 335 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,560 and my company is the one that is renovating the 336 00:31:15,220 --> 00:31:17,260 phyllo and silver street properties. 337 00:31:20,730 --> 00:31:20,770 Great. 338 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:27,630 Did you have anything that you wanted to tell us or did you just want to open it up to questions from the commission? 339 00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:30,650 First, I just want to thank Mr. Alvarez. I was a great presentation. 340 00:31:31,030 --> 00:31:36,250 He's been very helpful in making sure we're in compliance with local city ordinances. 341 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:39,030 And so we're thankful for his guidance there. 342 00:31:39,570 --> 00:31:41,270 In terms of what our goals are, 343 00:31:41,270 --> 00:31:47,630 Our company specifically focuses on affordable housing developments that have fallen on hard times. 344 00:31:48,290 --> 00:31:54,330 The reason this falls into the renovation is beyond 50% of the purchase price, 345 00:31:54,390 --> 00:31:58,990 because we bought a larger portfolio of buildings in the area of 96 total units. 346 00:32:00,950 --> 00:32:06,350 And the way the land pin numbers kind of got divided, 347 00:32:06,350 --> 00:32:11,930 And these three properties ended up getting a smaller percentage of the overall portion due 348 00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:18,250 to them being only 12 or 11 unit buildings versus the 24 unit buildings across the street. 349 00:32:20,010 --> 00:32:21,650 The goals of our company are pretty straightforward. 350 00:32:22,270 --> 00:32:29,810 We believe in finding equity and for people of all different socioeconomic cases and our 351 00:32:29,810 --> 00:32:35,130 companies have been successful at coming into large metropolitan areas and smaller ones. 352 00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:39,130 and finding local partners that we can find, 353 00:32:39,850 --> 00:32:40,830 whether they're contractors, 354 00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,270 whether they're long-term staff of ours, 355 00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:46,150 and finding what we would call 356 00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:50,130 neat but sturdy renovations that allow people to 357 00:32:50,850 --> 00:32:54,350 experience dignity and being able to live in affordable housing. 358 00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:58,170 So with that, I'm happy to go over any questions 359 00:32:58,170 --> 00:33:00,190 on anything that's relevant. 360 00:33:00,410 --> 00:33:03,310 I also do have some visual aids if you do want to see 361 00:33:03,310 --> 00:33:05,830 our demonstration unit that has been completed. 362 00:33:06,010 --> 00:33:08,650 I could pass those out, but totally up to you guys. 363 00:33:09,530 --> 00:33:10,910 Okay, great, thank you. 364 00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:12,910 Any questions for Mr. Armstrong? 365 00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:22,430 Could you sign in also just the sheet in front of you? 366 00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:23,470 Okay, thank you. 367 00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:35,500 No questions? 368 00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:37,960 Okay, I'll ask a question. 369 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,880 So as Mr. Rose kind of alluded to, 370 00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,400 we didn't get much information. 371 00:33:44,620 --> 00:33:47,380 We just got the information in the staff report 372 00:33:47,380 --> 00:33:50,900 and then what was in the special use permit. 373 00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:57,820 So we're kind of having to rely on the assessment of staff. 374 00:33:58,420 --> 00:34:01,340 But it would be nice if you could maybe walk us through, 375 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,360 at least the three of the guidelines that I would be interested in. 376 00:34:04,420 --> 00:34:10,000 It sounds like there's improvements being made relate to the landscaping, 377 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,980 the lighting, and the maybe the materials. 378 00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:20,020 So, if you could, um, walk us through those three, a little, of course. Yeah. And, uh, feel free 379 00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:27,120 if I miss anything to just, uh, reiterate please. Uh, so beginning with the landscaping, uh, so we 380 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,400 have been primarily focused on the interior portion of the repairs since those were, beyond 381 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:40,060 livable conditions, uh, so we have, um, a pretty simple plan. Uh, we're in the process of planning 382 00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:46,660 because, unfortunately, the area in front of the buildings had lots of waste including, you 383 00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:53,160 know, syringes and other sorts of dangers material. So we had to make sure that was properly 384 00:34:53,160 --> 00:35:01,420 excavated and then we put in, I think, over several hundred yards of fresh dirt and just plain 385 00:35:01,420 --> 00:35:06,000 to grass seed. So pretty straightforward stuff, but just think that's required to make sure we 386 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:14,660 just continue to work on the exterior experience of the property. We have not purchased these 387 00:35:14,660 --> 00:35:21,600 yet, but we're in the process of finding the right vendor to put in pretty standard landscaping 388 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,940 bushes that are probably going to be approximately three feet tall, probably two and a half 389 00:35:25,940 --> 00:35:33,040 to three feet wide. They'll be placed in ways that are aesthetically pleasing in front of the sidewalk 390 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,600 on the exterior since it's the sidewalk litter the goes right in in front of each unit 391 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,880 doesn't have a common hallways space. We're then planning on putting river rock around 392 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:51,520 those any landscaping including likely the trees that are on our own side of the property 393 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:57,240 versus the city side of the sidewalk to just continue to make it something where you know 394 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:01,160 sometimes it's hard to get grass in that space so we want to have it be something people can 395 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,660 look at and look clean and neat from the viewpoint. 396 00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:06,960 And then as we talked about, we're in the early stages 397 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,020 of submitting a permit for offencing. 398 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,800 We believe that our hope is that we can make people feel comfortable 399 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,200 to bring their families there. 400 00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,820 And so we're anticipating having children. 401 00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:20,180 And we want to be able to, since the rear parking lot has 402 00:36:20,180 --> 00:36:24,080 already been paved, we're planning on making the front area. 403 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,460 That's will have grass in it once the grass grows. 404 00:36:27,620 --> 00:36:30,460 Something that is safe enough that if they are playing, 405 00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:35,880 there will be appropriate fencing that will allow transparency and visibility, but also prevent 406 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:43,300 if a ball or a toy or a younger child is not under extreme supervision, they just can't 407 00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:51,860 wander carelessly into the road. In terms of materials, everything will be designated through 408 00:36:51,860 --> 00:36:57,960 a vendor relationships to be in compliance with anything that you would expect, brought 409 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:04,160 and steel for the fencing. The river rocks pretty straightforward. The grass we already described 410 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:11,340 in the bushes as well. In terms of lighting, I think is probably appropriate to go to next 411 00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:19,440 if you feel like of describing landscaping sufficiently. Lighting was when we got the project started, 412 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,760 there was no exterior lighting at all except for what was provided by the city on the street. 413 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,960 So, what we've already done is we have refurbished the lighting deck. 414 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:57,620 It goes, I believe there's in-between each unit, there's six units per floor. So in-between each one, there used to be lights that were there. Unfortunately due to non-payment of bills and other issues, those were not functional. So in the last several weeks, we've been able to get the city or get the amaran to appropriately address their side of the issues with that. 415 00:37:57,620 --> 00:38:00,860 And our staff have been able to address the actual lights themselves. 416 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:08,000 So now we have 12 lights per building that are sufficiently bright enough so that people 417 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,200 can easily see the sidewalk and probably about 3 to 5 feet in front of the property, in 418 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,960 case there was anybody at the door, something like that, be sufficiently bright but not so bright 419 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:24,420 as to be something that would be blinding or be an ISO or anything that would be distracting 420 00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:29,600 from the streets, which are approximately, you know, 75 yards or so from the doors themselves. 421 00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:33,140 And again, this was already pre-existing, but it wasn't functional. 422 00:38:33,580 --> 00:38:38,080 So we've, in the meantime, been able to create that functionality for 1302 and 1304. 423 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,540 Our electrician has told us that he anticipates by the 15th of September, 424 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:48,340 since everything on the south side of the street has had all of the electrical services have been 425 00:38:48,340 --> 00:38:55,040 analyzed for what appears to have been a long time and all of the piping and the actual 426 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,340 wire itself has been removed and vandalized. 427 00:38:58,540 --> 00:39:02,780 We had to reinstall that and so we're going as quick as we can but we're anticipating 428 00:39:02,780 --> 00:39:07,780 by the end of this week to be done with 1401 and then it will be up to Amarin to kind of connect 429 00:39:07,780 --> 00:39:13,140 things properly to the existing lighting infrastructure utility and then we'll have that same 430 00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:13,700 functionality. 431 00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:18,880 Those are set to those have sensors, so they aren't shining all day. 432 00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:23,280 They shine whenever basically dust level is what you could kind of assume. 433 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,260 Right now, probably between 730 and 8 o'clock is when those lights will not receive enough light from the sun, 434 00:39:29,580 --> 00:39:32,120 and therefore be able to turn on. 435 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,780 I believe I may have missed one, would you mind? 436 00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:36,940 No, that was the ones I had. 437 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,840 Just the follow-up though, is they're lighting on the parking lot? 438 00:39:39,940 --> 00:39:40,980 I didn't hear of you. 439 00:39:40,980 --> 00:39:48,560 Yes. So behind the parking lot, there are on each lot breakdown. There are already, I believe, 440 00:39:48,820 --> 00:39:54,120 there's city lights, like city light poles that allow sufficient parking lot coverage. 441 00:39:54,260 --> 00:39:58,920 However, we will have security cameras installed once we have electrical service restored 442 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:07,860 to be able to view everything back there. We are also open to considering potentially installing 443 00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:14,140 an additional motion-detective floodlight, we're still trying to understand the safety concerns 444 00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:18,020 of the neighborhood well enough to know if we need to improve upon what currently exists. 445 00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:22,440 At this point we feel comfortable with the cameras that are in process and the city lighting 446 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,920 that has been restored, that there's sufficient lighting for everyone to feel comfortable, 447 00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:32,740 but we're open to future considerations as we just begin leasing the units to new tenants 448 00:40:32,740 --> 00:40:33,740 and willing them to feel safe. 449 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,980 Okay, thank you. Any other questions, Mr. Rose? 450 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:47,880 Yes, thank you. Will the rear of the buildings be substantially changed or will it be 451 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:53,480 essentially a paved area better lit for parking only? 452 00:40:54,040 --> 00:41:00,020 Sure, so the only substantial changes that we are considering is in between the buildings. 453 00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:06,020 There was kind of a scrub grass rock situation there. 454 00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:12,820 We're planning on paving that over so that it's accessible and something where if you don't have clear lighting, 455 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,560 it's just going to be brand new pavement. 456 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,180 To the rear of the building, we're planning on striping the parking lot since currently it's unstriped 457 00:41:20,180 --> 00:41:25,940 and having parking spots assigned by unit number. 458 00:41:25,940 --> 00:41:33,740 outside of that, it's functional for now, and with all the work that we have to do on the 459 00:41:33,740 --> 00:41:39,260 interiors, we believe it's sufficient, but it's something for us to consider as a longer 460 00:41:39,260 --> 00:41:43,740 term improvement, because that area probably hasn't been repaved in quite some time. 461 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:55,680 Clearly, you would be expected to follow these guidelines and I understand from staff 462 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:24,420 these arise from crime prevention through environmental design. Have you made effort for additional information from current residents past residents neighbors to tailor these efforts for these buildings? 463 00:42:25,180 --> 00:42:26,280 Thank you for that question. 464 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,620 We've tried to canvas and understand because we believe to be good neighbors. 465 00:42:30,780 --> 00:42:35,100 We have to understand the past so that we can make sure the future is different. 466 00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:44,300 From what we've learned, a lot of the problems were more related to a lack of effort, continual 467 00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:44,900 effort. 468 00:42:45,140 --> 00:42:48,080 And one of the things that's going to be different for us is we're going to have an onsite 469 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,720 office across the street at 1305, which is not included in today's presentation, but as part 470 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:53,260 of the portfolio. 471 00:42:53,260 --> 00:43:02,340 So we're going to have on-site maintenance and staff, so it seemed like, in general, the story 472 00:43:02,340 --> 00:43:08,560 goes, these used to be nice. I mean, it buttresses right up to a really nice neighborhood, 473 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:16,220 but over time and disrepair problems amounted to where they were attracting. 474 00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:22,100 people who didn't feel like it was worth respecting what was there and that led to more dangerous 475 00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:30,120 behaviors continuing to grow. And so we come in and again, the flyer I have can kind of demonstrate 476 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:37,620 to some degree, but we really do try to remove that element completely. And when we finish our 477 00:43:37,620 --> 00:43:43,820 renovations, we expect people and we'll hold them accountable within legal reason of the least 478 00:43:43,820 --> 00:43:48,800 They sign an additional addendum that we have called a good neighbor policy where we expect 479 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,280 them to continually stay in touch with us. 480 00:43:51,820 --> 00:43:57,260 One of the reasons we don't hire just a local property management company is not because 481 00:43:57,260 --> 00:43:57,800 a competency. 482 00:43:58,420 --> 00:44:04,060 It's because of that care and effort to know that the tenants are one level removed from 483 00:44:04,060 --> 00:44:08,620 speaking to an owner who has millions of dollars invested in the long-term success and 484 00:44:08,620 --> 00:44:09,680 duration of the project. 485 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,800 really helps make sure the problems are addressed immediately. 486 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,920 And so, we believe at this time, that is the strategy we're planning on implementing, 487 00:44:19,660 --> 00:44:23,320 may sound simple, but we found it be quite effective in other situations that are similar to this. 488 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,800 You answered my third question regarding maintenance. 489 00:44:29,740 --> 00:44:30,300 Thank you. 490 00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:33,890 All right, any other questions, Mr. Armstrong? 491 00:44:35,730 --> 00:44:36,110 Ms. Allen. 492 00:44:37,230 --> 00:44:43,010 You mentioned property management being at the 1305 property, or that's where the 493 00:44:43,010 --> 00:44:48,650 is going to be located, it's like going to be a full-time person, and then for maintenance 494 00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:53,170 is that contracted out, or that's going to be another full-time or part-time employee. 495 00:44:53,570 --> 00:44:54,290 It's a great question. 496 00:44:54,850 --> 00:44:59,970 We've had a number of applicants already, so at this point, we are trying to fix- 497 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,160 You're out what that looks like because when you start with close to zero tenants and you're growing to 96 plus whatever other folks live with them that may not be on the lease, we want to make sure we're properly staffed. 498 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:24,580 We are anticipating a full-time property manager. We call them a community developer, is our term for it because we want to try to remove any stigmas of them versus us. We're all in the same team trying to grow the community and make it a better place. 499 00:45:24,580 --> 00:45:28,240 And we want our tenants to feel as though they have a home. 500 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:35,000 That will hold them accountable to continue to respect and keep up and be able to pay the rent so we can continue to provide those services long-term. 501 00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:38,340 But we also expect people to be able to hold us accountable. 502 00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:53,220 And again, part of the won't say benefit, but part of the good thing that just comes from this is when these properties are just kind of at the level of in which we kind of begin this process. 503 00:45:53,220 --> 00:45:55,640 There's no point in trying to save what's there. 504 00:45:55,940 --> 00:45:57,860 So that's why we do complete renovations. 505 00:45:57,900 --> 00:46:00,060 So we aren't trying to just paint the walls 506 00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:01,480 and hope people will rent it. 507 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,700 We're doing brand new appliances. 508 00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:06,300 We're changing any existing issues 509 00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:08,360 that prevented plumbing from working properly 510 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,500 or electrical from not being sufficient. 511 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,420 At 1401, we realized that the previous 512 00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:16,700 electrical service, which was already 513 00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:17,700 vandalized and unusable. 514 00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:20,460 If we restored that, it could work, 515 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,660 but it would probably lead in situations like this 516 00:46:22,660 --> 00:46:28,040 where we put the appropriate P tax and other sort of heating elements in place that it could 517 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:33,260 lead to brown outages or other things that could cause people to lose power temporarily. 518 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:39,180 So we went ahead and we got in our permit with the city to upgrade the service to 600 amps. 519 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,560 So in situations like that we're doing our best to try to think above and beyond and the same 520 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,200 we'll happen with our onsite staff. 521 00:46:48,740 --> 00:46:54,020 So just to clarify, it sounds like maybe some part-time staff to start and then scaling up 522 00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:56,300 as units become vacated? 523 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,980 That in an ideal world, that would be the case just 524 00:46:58,980 --> 00:47:00,120 from a cost standpoint. 525 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,080 But the reality is when we find the right folks, 526 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,420 if they need full time employment, 527 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,500 and they're willing to kind of think outside there 528 00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,800 just sitting in the desk answering calls for tenants 529 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,500 that don't exist yet, then we'll absolutely 530 00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:14,980 consider full time employment right away. 531 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,160 All right, any other questions from a strong strong? 532 00:47:23,570 --> 00:47:24,570 All right, thank you. 533 00:47:24,830 --> 00:47:25,530 Thank you. 534 00:47:27,420 --> 00:47:30,540 OK, so at this point, we'll open it up to the public. 535 00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:37,940 If anyone wants to address the commission, you can come forward state your name and sign in at the table and tell us what you have to say. 536 00:47:38,340 --> 00:47:45,620 I'll remind everyone to please keep your comments relevant to the case under consideration, the case is under consideration. 537 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,680 If you want to talk about something else, we'll have an opportunity later in the meeting for audience participation. 538 00:47:52,940 --> 00:48:02,080 We'll start with anyone that is in favor of the cases that wants to address the commission. 539 00:48:14,450 --> 00:48:20,630 In that case, we'll open up to anyone that's opposed to the cases that wants to address the commission. 540 00:48:24,980 --> 00:48:25,560 No takers, 541 00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:34,320 last chance. 542 00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:40,540 There's no one that wants to address the commission, then we'll declare the public input portion close. 543 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:48,540 Does there anything that staff wants to add based on comments from the petitioner? 544 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,180 No, I don't believe so. 545 00:48:51,520 --> 00:49:02,260 All right, so now we'll go into discussion amongst the commission and possibly entertain motion or motions to vote in this case. 546 00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:05,840 Any discussion on the cases? 547 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,080 as well. 548 00:49:13,180 --> 00:49:18,430 Pretty much just two points for me. The reason I asked if a building permit was pulled 549 00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:26,400 was that answered a bunch of the other questions for me because a lot of the information in 550 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:33,820 the building permit is a quantifiable information that is in this special use permit. So I understand 551 00:49:33,820 --> 00:49:43,180 the commissions wanting to see some of that information, but it's tangibly quantifiable in the 552 00:49:43,180 --> 00:49:47,220 building permit that's been submitted, so I'm comfortable that staff has reviewed those items, 553 00:49:48,460 --> 00:49:53,060 like the lighting and fencing and things like that. They're all requirements to pull a building 554 00:49:53,060 --> 00:49:58,580 permit here. And even to the point of, I don't know this, but I'm guessing the upgraded electrical 555 00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:03,340 service came from a building permit situation where the units didn't meet code and there's 556 00:50:03,340 --> 00:50:11,460 nothing vested here that more requirements kick in because more is invested in the building. 557 00:50:12,140 --> 00:50:20,520 So in terms of those aspects of meeting especially use permit being met and I'm comfortable 558 00:50:21,340 --> 00:50:28,180 in the position that staff has reviewed these items and they'll be met. 559 00:50:28,180 --> 00:50:35,800 The only other point I want to make is that I'm pretty sure we all understand why these special 560 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,840 use permit is in place in this particular area of the Savor Banner. 561 00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:48,500 I'm very much in favor of removing every single obstacle we have to renovating anything in 562 00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:53,000 this neighborhood, including requiring a special use permit to do it. 563 00:50:54,700 --> 00:51:02,860 We're introducing a step to make this process harder when we need to introduce every step we can to make this process easier. 564 00:51:03,860 --> 00:51:06,320 So I'm ready to move the cases for approval. 565 00:51:06,660 --> 00:51:07,920 Unless there's more discussion. 566 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:11,500 Any other discussion? 567 00:51:15,460 --> 00:51:16,380 Ready to make a motion? 568 00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:20,440 I will make a motion. 569 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:22,400 Separately? 570 00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:22,780 Yes. 571 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:33,060 I make a motion to move plan case number 2530-usu-26 to the City Council with a recommendation 572 00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:34,740 of approval with no condition. 573 00:51:36,540 --> 00:51:41,700 All right, so we have a motion by Mr. Fell, do we have a second, second by Mr. Rose, 574 00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:43,360 any discussion on that motion? 575 00:51:48,950 --> 00:51:56,150 No, I'll just add, I second, well, I agree with Mr. Fell's comments about, I don't 576 00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:59,530 And as nearly the need to remove the overlay district, 577 00:51:59,770 --> 00:52:03,450 that's a discussion for another time, but just the idea 578 00:52:03,450 --> 00:52:05,810 that, well, this is an exciting prospect 579 00:52:05,810 --> 00:52:09,150 to have someone making an investment in this area, 580 00:52:09,310 --> 00:52:12,630 and it aligns with many things in the conference 581 00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:14,610 at plan, but also with the mayor's initiative 582 00:52:14,610 --> 00:52:16,650 around revitalizing file overode. 583 00:52:18,350 --> 00:52:20,410 So I think we should be trying to make that process 584 00:52:20,410 --> 00:52:21,510 as easy as possible. 585 00:52:22,330 --> 00:52:24,950 Okay, so looks like we're ready to vote. 586 00:52:24,950 --> 00:52:26,690 Can we have a roll call, please? 587 00:52:28,590 --> 00:52:29,210 Mr. Bell. 588 00:52:29,590 --> 00:52:29,730 Yes. 589 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,300 Mr. Brez.
