Attachment 1 REQUEST FOR COMMISSION ACTION Date: 7/5/2023 Item No.: 6.a. Department Approval Agenda Section Janice Gundlach, Community Development Public Hearing Director Item Description: Request by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church for an Interim Use to temporarily regulate two existing mobile residential micro-unit dwellings on the property at 2555 Victoria Street (PF23-004) 1 2 Application Information 3 Applicant: Prince of Peace Lutheran Church 4 Location: 2255 Victoria Street 5 Application Submission: June 2, 2023 6 City Action Deadline: August 1, 2023 7 Zoning: Institutional District 8 9 Background 10 The Request 11 Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is seeking an Interim Use to allow two existing mobile residential 12 micro-unit dwellings to remain at 2555 Victoria Street until December 31, 2023. The units are 13 currently prohibited under City Code because they are not served by municipal sewer and water 14 utilities, which is required under current City Code and Zoning Code requirements. Rather, the 15 mobile residential micro-unit dwellings rely on the adjacent church to meets needs not otherwise met 16 by the units. A recently adopted State Law, named Sacred Communities and Micro-Unit Dwellings, 17 regulating these mobile residential dwelling units, referred to as “micro-units” in “sacred 18 communities” will go into effect on January 1, 2024. The State law outlines certain safety-related 19 requirements and then requires municipalities to allow such units but prohibits municipal regulation. 20 The requested Interim Use intends to ensure the soon to be effective health and safety standards are 21 met for the existing mobile residential micro-units through December 31, 2023, at which point the 22 State law will supersede City Code. Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, located at 2561 Victoria 23 Street, is included in the Interim Use as the existing mobile residential micro-unit dwellings rely on 24 the church for toilet, kitchen, laundry and bathing facilities. 25 26 What is an Interim Use? Certain land uses might not be consistent with the land uses designated in 27 the Comprehensive Land Use Plan or might fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for 28 the district within which they are proposed; some such land uses may, however, be acceptable or 29 even beneficial if reviewed and provisionally approved for a limited period of time. The purpose of 30 the Interim Use review process is to allow the approval of Interim Uses on a case-by-case basis; 31 approved interim uses shall have a definite end date and may be subject to specific conditions 32 considered reasonable and/or necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and general 33 welfare. 34 35 Level of Discretion in Decision Making: Actions taken on an Interim Use request are legislative; Page 1 of 6 Qbhf!24!pg!377
