NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Convert detached garage into one apartment unit, with separate site storage & office space. Special Permit is for use of site for Lodging
House and Multi-family apartment.
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board approved the special permit for the Lodging House with 7 rooms and one multi-family unit based upon the following
plans submitted with the application:
1. Proposed plans for Historic College Inn, prepared by Gustavo A Pardo, dated 8/18/05 page Z1(Interior Renovations) Z2(elevations).
The Planning Board found:
A. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The existing use as a market-rate lodging house
will continue and the total number of units will remain at eight. Sound and sight buffers and views, light, and air will not change
dramatically as the existing detached garage will be relocated and used to incorporate one accessory office space and one apartment
unit. No lighting other than required by the building code will be installed.
B. The requested use will not change the existing configuration as it relates to the safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within
the site and on adjacent streets. The small residential site will allow for safe access between the parking area and the structures.
The project, including any concurrent road improvements, will not decrease the level of service (LOS) of all area roads or intersections
effected by the project below the existing conditions.
C. The requested use will promote a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape, existing buildings
and other community assets in the area. The existing garage will be removed and replaced with a similarly sized and located garage.
D. The requested use will not overload, the City's resources including the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system,
sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools.
E. The requested use meets the l regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
F. The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare. The use will not unduly impair the integrity of
character of the district or adjoining zones, nor be detrimental to the health, morals, or general welfare.
G. The requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely effect those objectives, as
defined in City master or study plans which support new residential units where infrastructure can support it.
