ITEM N❑ • 15 (Continued) FILE NO.: Z-5819
The City's housing inspectors currently have this structure
listed in "repair" status, which is one step above
"conditionally unsafe".
Staff feels that it is appropriate to support this effort to
rehabilitate an existing residential structure, which would
have to be brought into compliance with minimum housing
standards. The use of the structure as a duplex would not
be out of character for this neighborhood.
S. Staff Recommendatic�n
Staff recommends approval of this application subject to:
I. Three on-site parking spaces being constructed on the
rear portion of this property taking access off of the
alley.
2. The structure being brought into compliance with
minimum housing standards.
