SPEAKERS: None
ACTION: Disapproved project with modified motion:
Second pagragraph of preamble should be corrected to read March 19978
Revised 4th paragraph:
The Commission has heard and considered testimony and written materials and oral testimony presented to it at the public hearing on behalf of the applicant, Department staff, and other interested parties.
Findings:
4. During the hearing before the Commission The Department has received
conflicting testimony regarding the date that the unit in question was established.
According to documents from the Department of Building Inspections, the unit was
established prior to 1960. A previous tenant and a current tenant in the building have
testified that the unit existed prior to the purchase of the building by the applicant.
However, several tenants of the building have testified that the
unit was established within the past two years. No evidence was submitted during the
hearing to establish that the unit had existed prior to 1960.
6. Although the Commission received some testimony from neighborhood
residents that the additional unit would not be detrimental Strong opposition to
the unit was received from a number of occupants of the building and from several
residents in the neighborhood.
7. The project complies with all applicable provisions of the Planning
Code.
7 8. The Residence Element of the General Plan (Objective 3,
Policy 3) encourages legalizing illegal dwelling units, but only when there is no
neighborhood opposition.
8. The evidence before Commission established believes that
the current owner established the unit in question without the benefit of a Building
Permit. In order to avoid setting a precedent of encourage the construction of
illegal units, the Commission feels an obligation to deny the Conditional Use
Authorization.
