Memorandum

To:

CORTEZ CITY COUNCIL

From:

Cheryl Lindquist, Permit Technician/Deputy City Clerk

Date:

2/13/2024

RE:

Resolution No. 04, Series 2024

DISCUSSION

The Southern Bluffs Howmeowners Association ("HOA") is requesting a CUP to allow the HOA to lease space inside the HOA's existing clubhouse for a yet undetermined business or professional use meeting the definition of business or professional office contained in the Land Use Code. Leasing a portion of the clubhouse would allow the HOA to offset some fixed costs of the structure such as utilities and maintenance, thereby keeping HOA dues more affordable for homeowners. No external changes to the existing structure would be required, except perhaps signage, which would be required to meet both HOA requirements and the City Sign Code. Any internal building alterations would require building permits. There are currently 12+ parking spaces provided with additional on-street parking when events occur at the clubhouse. Although the exact square footage that would be leased to a business are unknown at this time, it appears that adequate parking already exists on site.

BACKGROUND

The Southern Bluffs Owner’s Association (the “HOA”) is proposing a conditional use permit to allow it to lease its existing clubhouse building out for a business or professional office. The existing building, located at 801 Bluffs Blvd, Cortez, CO 81321 (the “Property”) operates as the common clubhouse for the Southern Bluffs Subdivision. While the HOA has not yet identified a specific use or renter, it is hoping to obtain the conditional use permit before advertising the Property for rent.
