Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

City Council approved the tentative plat for this subdivision in July of 2006.  The final plat was recorded in 2011.

Options and Alternatives:

  1. Approve the plat abandonment as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
  2. Approve the plat abandonment subject to conditions.
  3. Deny the plat abandonment.

Background and History:

The final plat for "The Condominiums @721 San Francisco" was a four unit condo plat.  The plat was applied to a .44-acre parcel with one existing residence.  The remaining three units were never constructed.  The applicant would now like to pursue other development options for the property and needs to abandon the condominium plat.  No new development plans for property have been submitted for review.  The property is zoned Single-family Residential Neighborhood (R1N) which would allow a density of up to six units.  The property is also located within the Transect Overlay within the T3 designation.

Key Considerations:

The property is not located within the Resource Protection Overlay zone.  No new development is approved through this plat abandonment.  No systems analysis is required.

Community Involvement:

Community benefits and considerations are explained in detail in the attached Planning & Zoning Commission staff report dated January 10, 2018.

Expanded Options and Alternatives:

Inform.  No public hearings or public outreach are required by either the Zoning Code or the Subdivision regulations as part of the plat abandonment review process.
