HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Margaret Hostetter is requesting approval for a License to Use for three (3) gravel parking spaces within the Right of Way in front of 1715 E. Gonzalez Street. The purpose of this request is to allow for a parking area to accommodate the two existing rental units/Airbnb.
On March 16, 2021, the applicant went before the City’s Code Enforcement Authority based on a Code violation, citing Section 12-4-1 of the Land Development Code that was first noted by the City’s Engineering Division in January of this year. Multiple other applicable City Code Sections were cited in the Notice of Violation (attached). The Special Magistrate Judge found the parking located in the right of way adjacent to the property to be in violation and gave the applicant until May 4, 2021 to correct the violation. The property owner is requesting approval of a license to use to address the violation.
On May 11, 2021, the Planning Board voted 4-0 to recommend denial of the request. Subsequent to the Planning Board review of the request, the Special Magistrate tabled the case until the July Code Enforcement Authority meeting in order to allow the applicant additional time to receive City Council review of the request.
