CASE 1280-80 <br />APPLICANT: Alex Minich <br />3 December 1980 <br />Page Two <br />cases to handle any new apartment structures (or conversions) on an <br />individual case basis rather than revise the Ordinance. you -wild, recall <br />that both the Planning Commission and Council adopted housing policies <br />In their recent Comprehensive Flan indicating a desire to have a broader <br />base of housing types within the City. It would appear that the allowance <br />for efficiency units is in keeping with that policy. <br />5. with respect to the zoning, the land is currently zoned B-1, when the <br />B -1 Zone was initially established in the ordinance in 1959, apartment <br />structures were permitted as a special use. subsequent to that time, <br />apartments were taken out of the B -1 Zone. Thus, under the current ordinance <br />it is prohibited to build apartment structures in the B -1 Zone. This <br />theoretically makes the existing apartment building a non-conforming use <br />and theoretically would not be allowed to be reconstructed if it were <br />destroyed beyond 50 percent. The rezoning then, is simply to put the <br />existing land use into conformance with the ordinance by rezoning the <br />land to R-3A., Multiple Residence District. <br />6. The staff has worked closely with Mr. Mi ni ch and his consultants in <br />preparation of the plans and application. Barring unforeseen circumstances, <br />it would appear that the proposal merits a positive review, and will not <br />adversely affect contiguous properties or the community as a whose. <br />
