RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions.
PLANNING STAFF: 30-Day Deferral.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is consistent with the Suburban character area of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. However, as a use subject to a special land use permit approval, consideration of the public is required due to possible impacts. A number of adjacent property owners have raised questions regarding the proposal and the required pre-submittal community engagement. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends a “30-day deferral for public hearing”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Approval with Conditions 6-2-0. Final Motion: Jan Costello moved, Lauren Blaszyk seconded for approval with five (5) conditions, per Staff recommendation. Vivian Moore and Edward Patton opposed. 1st Motion: Vivian Moore moved, Edward Patton seconded for denial. That vote failed 2-6-0. 2nd Motion: Jana Johnson moved for a 2-cycle deferral to allow the applicant time to work with the community. That motion failed for lack of a 2nd.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Approval 7-0-0.
