APPEAL OF THE PLANNING MANAGER'S DECISION NO. 96-02 (Kurth Nelson) Filed by Ms. Jean Ellen Schroepfer to appeal the Planning Manager's decision denying a legal nonconforming status for property located at 4901 1/2 Weat Fifth Street in the Single-Family Residential zoning district. RECOMMENDATION: Deny Appeal of the Planning Manager's Decision No. 96-02. Mr. Kurth Nelson, Assistant Planner I, provided an overview of the staff report and staff recommendation. Ms. Jean Schroepfer, applicant, provided pictures of the site and discussed with the Commission when she had bought the property; that she had been using the property as rental units; and that denial of the request would bring hardship herself and to the rental family. Commissioner Pedroza asked Ma. Schroepfer what type of description she received from the real estate agent when she purchased the property and what the records reflect regarding the unite. Ms. Schroepfer indicated that the property was listed as four addresses; however, there was no record of the building permits. Mr. Kenneth Adams, Planning Manager, indicated that the property was zoned R1. One unit per 6,000 square feet. In addition, Mr. Adams commented that it was difficult for staff to make any other recommendation other than a denial. However, the noted applicant was not the apparent guilty party of the conversion. Chairman Nalle asked how the property issue was initiated. Mr. Adams responded that a complaint had been received by the Code Enforcement Division as a clean up effort.
