Speaker 5: I believe that Council Bill 20 1053 be placed upon final consideration.
Speaker 0: Thank you. It has been moved and seconded the re cry. The required public hearing for council bill 5 to 3 is open. May we please have the staff report and we have Edson here.
Speaker 11: Good evening, counsel. My name is Ed Banyas and I'm with Community Government. Before you today we have 945 North Irving Street. It's currently on Eastside and the requesting Eastside one, which is a single unit zone district and the requesting for a single unit zone district with an accessory dwelling units. So the the site is located in Council District three and fourth District in Villa Park neighborhood. And the site itself is just over 6000 square feet. It's a single unit residential structure and the request is to allow for an accessory dwelling unit. And you. The current zoning is ESU D, which is a single unit zone district to the north. You see ESU, D1 X, which is a single unit zoned district that allows for an accessory dwelling unit as well as E.R. 2.5, which is a row house up to 2.5 storeys in height and directly to the south. You already see an ESU, D1, which is a single unit zone district allowing for an accessory dwelling unit. The land use is single unit residential. It's predominantly single unit residential in the area with some two unit and motel unit scattered in open space to the north right next to the trunk station. And then the property itself is on the upper left corner. It's a the property is very pushed back. So the vegetation doesn't allow you to actually see the structure, but you can see the front of that property. And then you can see in the overall it's one story structures in proximity to this site. So went before the planning board in May and it was approved unanimously and it's before you today. And so far as a president, we've only received one letter of support and it is attached to the staff report. Whenever we have a rezoning, there are specific review criteria that we look at from the Denver zoning code. So there are five, and the first one is Kansas City with adopted plans. And we're focusing on three specific plans which are comprehensive plan 2040 blueprint in Denver, a language in transportation plan of 2019 and as well as the Villa Park Neighborhood Plan of 1991. So there are several strategies found in comprehensive plan 2040 that the proposed rezonings consistent with that are specified in the staff report. And I would jump into your blueprint in Denver. Groups in Denver classify this area as urban edge, which is predominately residential. When we look at the place type, it's classified as low, medium residential, which offers a mix of low and mid-scale multi-unit residential options. And for the street type classification for North Irving, Street is a local street which is primarily served by residential uses. When we dove into the neighborhood plan, the Villa Park plan of 1991, their specific strategy and language in this plan that talks about specifically strategy to to discourage development that is incompatible with this the scale and quality of the neighborhood as well as having a it does talk about having a housing vision expressed in the plan that is strong and vital residential neighborhood to increase the rate of home ownership, renovate and maintain housing as well as strategy each one a which is enhance the appearance in the quality of the neighborhood housing. As well as the rezoning meets the other review criteria specified in the staff report. Therefore, CPD recommends, based on all the findings of the review criteria have been met and staff is available for any questions you may have as well as it is here as well online. Thank you.
Speaker 0: All right. Thank you, edson. And this evening, we have one individual signed up to speak on this hearing, and it's Jesse Paris. Go ahead, please, Jesse. You can speak, Jesse. We're trying to get you into the queue, Jesse. I think you're going to have to unmute yourself. Jesse, we're going to have to have you unmute yourself, please. All right. It seems that we're having some problems. We can't, unfortunately.
Speaker 4: Jesse isn't.
Speaker 0: Amusing himself. And so we're going to, unfortunately, need to go ahead and move on. We've tried. Everything that we can. And so we're going to go ahead and continue on with the hearing. We want to allow any questions from members of council on a council bill 5 to 3. Counsel Pro Tem Torres.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Madam President. Hey, Edson. I'm going to follow up with a question, but I'm wondering if we have the applicant in queue, Mr. Salas, or is he in chambers now?
Speaker 0: I believe the applicant should be in the queue. And so it's Willie Salas. I have been tell.
Speaker 4: Of Mr. Salazar and the meeting.
Speaker 0: Hi, Mr..
Speaker 5: Silas.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 7: I'm to asked the property.
Speaker 4: Owners.
Speaker 7: And we've talked about your current house that it sits way at the back of your property. What's your plan for building your edu?
Speaker 4: Right now, it's in very much the conceptual phase. I don't have any. Guidelines that I can really communicate or speak on right now. As you know, the pricing of construction materials is very high right now. So I don't have any immediate plans for what it would look like. But I can tell you that I look forward to taking advantage of this new rezoning and adding an 80 in the rear. And that's basically as much as I can say.
Speaker 7: In 80, you in the rear would mean demolishing the current primary house. Right. Which is at the rear of the property.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the plan is to demolish the almost 100 year old section of the primary house. Yes.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much. It's just a question for you really quickly whether or not this is a. Um. What Mr. Salis builds. He's allowed to build, attached or detached on the property, right?
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 7: What changes or does anything change if it's an attached edu when it comes to bulk plane? Maximum height, that kind of thing. Cause I recall that the rear had a lower height than the primary. In a detached situation, what happens with an attached.
Speaker 11: So in an attached situation. And. There's setback requirements that he would have to rear set back requirements that he'd have to meet into any situation. He doesn't meet that. So he would have to work with development services to figure out exactly. But the code is very specific for this stone district that says in the rear the maximum allowed is 19 feet. If it's an attach and if it was detached, it would be 24 feet. And so in this scenario, he would have to follow those guidelines.
Speaker 0: On foot attached. Okay. That's all I had.
Speaker 7: No additional questions. Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 0: All right. Thank you, counsel pro Tem Torres and Councilmember Sawyer. I thought I'd seen you up, but maybe your question got answered.
Speaker 7: It got answered? Yep.
Speaker 0: Thanks. All right. Great. Thank you. All right, so you. No other questions from members of council. The public hearing is closed. Comments by members of Council on Council Bill 5 to 3, Council Pro Tem Torres. Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 7: I just really want to extend thanks to Mr. Salas for approaching our office early today, just to let us know what he was working on. He got ahead of our conversation by probably about a year because we're looking to reason this entire section through our multi neighborhood rezoning. So your neighbors will have the same permission.
Speaker 0: As you, Mr. Salas. If this does go through.
Speaker 7: But I just appreciate the communication from the applicant with myself, as well as the R.A. and their neighbors. I look forward to supporting tonight. Thank you, Madam President.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Counsel Pro Tem Torres, and I am happy to support this as well, seeing that it meets all of the rezoning criteria. Madam Secretary, roll call on Council Bill 523. Torres, I.
