Speaker 0: Madam Secretary. Police force voting. Announce the results. 3939 as comfortably a105 has passed. All right, council member to back, will you please put council 107 on the floor.
Speaker 3: I move that council bill 20 dash 107 be placed upon final consideration and do pass.
Speaker 0: Thank you very much. Has been moved. Can I get a second? Thank you. It has been moved and seconded. The required public hearing for Council Bill 107 is open. May we have the staff report?
Speaker 3: All right, it's me again. I apologize if I sound a bit like a broken record. This is a very similar reasoning and a very, almost the same neighborhood. So this is four 2625 Julian Street and they are requesting to reason from us. You be to us, you be one. So again, it's in the applications located in Council District one, also in the Sloan Lake neighborhood. The property is located just northeast of Brown Elementary School along Julian Street, north of 26th Avenue. It's approximately 6250 square feet and is currently occupied with a single unit home. The property is currently zoned urban single unit B and the applicant is proposing to rezone to urban single unit B one to allow for an accessory dwelling unit. The existing zoning, again, USC to be most of the surrounding area is also USC. B But then you too you see is predominantly south of 26th Avenue. The existing land use is a single unit home. It's surrounded by mostly other single unit homes with some two unit and multi-unit dispersed throughout. The existing home is on the left side of the screen. And then there's the home across the street and then some other single frame, single unit homes along 26th Avenue. And so the application was complete in October and sent out for informational notice on October 4th. And to date, we have not received any comments. So again, there's five review criteria which I'll go over three adopted plans, comprehensive plan and Blueprint. Denver and then Housing and Inclusive Denver. So the rezoning is consistent with several of the strategies in the comprehensive plan. It's consistent with the strategy for equitable, affordable and inclusive by creating a greater mix of housing options in every neighborhood for all individuals and families. And it will promote an environmentally resilient Denver by promoting infill development or services and infrastructure already exist. And Blueprint. Denver The future neighborhood context is urban. This is small multi-unit and a mixed use area is embedded in mostly one unit and two unit residential areas. The block patterns are regular with alley access and there's a high degree of walkability. The future place type blueprint is low residential. This is predominantly single and two unit uses with accessory dwelling units are appropriate. The future street type for Julian is Local Street, which is mostly residential uses, and then 26th Avenue is a residential collector. The growth area strategy and blueprint is all other areas of the city. This is where we anticipate to see 10% of jobs and 20% of housing by 2040. And it also meets policy for which encourages diversifying housing choice through the expansion of accessory dwelling units throughout all of residential areas in the city. And then in housing an inclusive Denver that encourages expanding the development of accessory dwelling units to incentivize affordable and mixed use housing as a wealth building tool for low and moderate income homeowners. So the proposed rezoning is consistent with the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan Blueprint Denver and Housing and Inclusive Denver because it will expand housing options and allow the development of an accessory dwelling unit. Staff also finds that the requested zoning means meets the next two criteria. The rezoning will result in uniformity of district regulations, and it will further the public health, safety and welfare of the city by implementing adopted plans last year. The staff finds there is a justifying circumstance for this MAP amendment, but the newly adopted vision and blueprint Denver for accessory dwelling units in all residential areas. Lastly, the proposed zoning is consistent with the urban neighborhood context residential districts and the USC to be one zoned district. So therefore staff recommends approval based on the review criteria. And that concludes the staff presentation.
Speaker 0: Thank you very much. We have not received any written comments on Council Bill 107, but we do have one individual signed up to speak this evening. Jesse Pearce.
Speaker 10: Good evening, members of council. Those in the audience. Those watching at home. My name is Jesse Paris and I ran for city council at large last year, got almost 15,000 votes with no money. And I'll be running to be your next mayor in 2023. And so system is just for the poor people of a profit. And I'm representing for Denver homeless out low black star action movie for self-defense, positive action camera for Social Change, as well as the Unity Party of Colorado and Mile-High News. This one is pretty cut and dry. I'm thinking about this. I would like to know, is the occupant going to continue to reside at this residence or is this going to be another scraped unit like the previous rezoning? And also, is this for elderly or disabled person? If someone could please answer those questions are greatly appreciated. This already meets all the criteria, so there's nothing I can say that's going to change that. So I know you're going to approve this. So go right ahead. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Thank you. That concludes our speakers on this item. Are there any questions from members of Council on 107 over here? Oh, Count. Thank you. Club member can each.
Speaker 6: Hi. Thank you. I wanted to actually.
Speaker 3: Ask a clarifying question.
Speaker 6: That's relevant to this one, but something you said. You mentioned that the owner had to be living in the house to file the permit. So I have never seen that in the zoning code. I'm aware that there is a requirement for it to be owner occupied.
Speaker 3: If you want a short.
Speaker 6: Term rental license on the ADU, I'm aware that there's an owner occupied building permit. I was just looking that up, but I have never heard a zoning requirement. In fact, there are, I believe, in Denver today, situations where both the front house and the 82 are being rented. So I wanted to give you a chance to clarify why that would be a requirement for permitting, because you mentioned in the prior one that the owner had to attest that they lived there to get the permit. And that is not my understanding of the zoning code. So help correct.
Speaker 3: Me. Yeah. So I believe it's in the limitation section of the zoning code. I don't know the exact section off the top of my head, but I'd be happy to get it for you and send you that section later. Yeah. If you can do that.
Speaker 6: And is that universal to all zone districts?
Speaker 3: Yes. Yep. It's it's applicable to if someone has an accessory dwelling unit on their property.
Speaker 6: Okay. Thank you.
Speaker 0: All right. Any other question on this item? Doesn't look like it. The public hearing for Council Bill 107 is now closed. Comments by members of Council Council members. And while this one is in your district again, did you want to go first?
Speaker 3: Thank you. So I will start off by once again. The owner, Liz had a pre-application with CPD in late July, shortly after I took office and we had a meeting with them August 6th, and Liz and her husband were expecting their first child and wanted to stay within the neighborhood and their last configuration was they could not expand, so they wanted to do an accessory drawing unit. I asked them to do outreach to their block and find out if anybody else would be interested because as I mentioned, I am tired of these one offs, so I would like to do it in a more holistic fashion if we could do it block by block if I have to. And unfortunately, at that time, no one was interested in adding to this application. So with that, we have not gotten have received any comments or feedback from them. They did come back, circle around and showed us that they had garnered support from all of their neighbors. And normally I don't ask the neighbors across the street. I asked them specifically to talk to the neighbors in the alley who will be impacted by the construction of the ADA, because it's really the alley neighbors who are going to be impacted. And they did. And they showed proof of that. So with that, I would ask that all of you support this application this evening. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Anybody that I missed, I want to say thank you to staff for putting this together. I think this clearly meets the criteria and we'll be supporting this evening. Madam Secretary, roll call.
Speaker 2: Sandoval Black. See the burqa.
Speaker 3: Eye for.
