RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed SLUP (Special Land Use Permit) request seeks to recreational club for veterans in the existing residential structure. Given the limited hours of operation during off-peak times, there should be little impact on traffic. There will be no physical changes to the exterior of the existing single-family residential structure. Therefore the building will be compatible in character with existing and surrounding single-family residences in the area. The proposed use is consistent with 2035 Comprehensive Plan vision to guide the development of land uses for County residents. The Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “APPROVAL CONDITIONAL” of the applicant’s request.
