(action) — Devin Durrant Devin Durrant — 2000 N Canyon Rd, Provo, Utah, & son, Ryan Durrant — 130 S 2nd E, Rexburg, ID — They thanked the Commissioners for their service. This is a Mixed Use area in the Pedestrian Emphasis District Overlay. The Durrants have walked the property with the University housing representatives., who approve of the use of this property if it meets the city's approval. This is a redevelopment area, but development may be a few years away. They are hoping to improve cash flow while working toward redevelopment. He has submitted a Parking Plan for 12 students in the blue roof home in 106 E 1" S and 5 students at 113 S. At one time, the blue roof had 20 students living there, which caused the loss of the dormitory use. He does not plan on putting anyone in the basement, because it does not meet the height requirements. He owns proximity of these two properties where parking could be used. The students will need to get a parking permit, so he can monitor parking closely. Kristi Anderson asked about additional parking. 2 spaces are located at 113 S., 2 spaces are next door at 110 S., 6 spaces are at 106 & 7 spaces are available at "B" leaving 4 for tenants, and at "A" across Princeton Ave. 7 additional spaces are located in an open parking lot. There are people living at each of these sites, but these are additional spaces. If the Durrants tied everything available together, there would be 24 extra spaces total. Vince Haley asked if the applicant owned the properties. He does. Rory Kunz asked, how far the empty parking lot is from the subject property? Devin has not measured this distance. flddbrc 1 B 19f i ` 1 k Exhibit 2 NQ _ 3 W'1ti i 14 .) p. 1 T� y 2cnRi r•�.-.

The distance is about 500ft. from the parking lot to the subject properties. In the Mixed Use zone, Dormitory use is allowed with a Conditional Use Permit. The questions for the Commissioners to answer is, Is this a good location for dormitory? In addition, this property qualifies for reduced parking. Staff will review a site plan and a parking plan. Building issues are not a concern here tonight. The Building Department will do a walk-through to make sure the home meets Building Code requirements. David Pulsipher asked if it is permissible to move parking to another site. Natalie Powell answered, in Chapter 10, it talks about the parking in the Pedestrian Emphasis District (PED) zone. The parking plan would have to be reviewed and approved by staff. Parking can be reduced to 60%, which in this case would be ten parking spaces required. There is a sunset clause that the applicant must develop this area within four years. The applicant also owns properties on this block along 2"d E and those properties have to be developed within two years in the Princeton Court and Greenbrier properties area. Vince Haley asked on the application, it states that the property was formerly used as Dormitory Housing. Natalie Powell answered, the Dormitory Housing use was lost and changed to single-family home. Natalie walked through the home with the inspectors this spring to identify what would be needed to make it safe for a single-family to live there now. Chairman Rory Kunz clarified that Dormitory Housing is allowed in the Mixed Use zone as a Conditional Use if approved by this body. The Commissioners will recommend this application be approved by City Council or not. Chairman Rory Kunz asked the Commissioners if they had any conflicts of interest or had been approached by any parties relative to this particular subject. If you believe your prior contact with respect to this subject has created a bias, you should recuse yourself, otherwise at this time please indicate the nature of your conversation or contact. Chairman Rory Kunz opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:46 p.m. Favor: None Neutral: Aaron Romney — 53 S Mill hollow — He owns Mill hollow up the street on 1" E. He is basing his comments on his experience with Pinnacle Point across the street from him. Pinnacle Point has adequate parking, but there is a stretch of 1" E that is not regulated for parking. The Pinnacle Point students have learned from Carlson to 1" S the parking is not regulated. There is typically 8-10 cars of Pinnacle Point residents that use the street as their permanent, full-time parking, even though there is adequate parking behind their building. These cars will sometimes not move for days. His concern is that as this request moves ahead, the parking on the street is freed up for downtown businesses. He suggests possibly, no overnight parking on the street. He looks forward to the development that can occur in the area. Opposed: None Written Input: None Chairman Rory Kunz asked if anyone else would like to speak? He closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:50p.m. Rebuttal: Devin loves Mill hollow. He had lunch there today and it was delicious. He shares Mr. Romney's concern. Devin has parking permits, which can help them address those parking incorrectly. Kristi Anderson feels this is a logical place for development. MOTION: The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends City Council approve the application for the Conditional Use Permit for Dormitory Housing, because it fits the area, has been dormitory in the past, and it is in close proximity to campus., Action: Approve, Moved by Vince Haley, Seconded by Todd Marx. Commission Discusses the Motion: John Bowen feels this is a good use of the property. David Pulsipher feels as long as there is adequate parking this should be approved. VOTE: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 8). Yes: David Pulsipher, John Bowen, Keith Esplin, Kristi Anderson, Melanie Davenport, Rory Kunz, Todd Marx, Vince Haley.
