What are the key elements of the issue? What precipitated it?
In July 2001, the City Council approved a Single-Story Combining District for 54 lots in the vicinity of Wright Avenue and Edmonton Avenue (Tract 1910). The combining district was requested by the affected property owners. Per the city’s zoning code, a single-story combining district is in effect for seven years after the date of approval.
This study issue would consider initiating an extension of this particular combining district on behalf of the neighbors. Municipal Code section 19.26.200(d)(1) states that an application to establish a single-story combining district shall be initiated by owners of property within the proposed district. Municipal Code section 19.26.200 (c) states that upon expiration of a single-story combining district, property owners within the district may apply for another single-story combining district, following the same procedures as for an original application. The seven year limit recognized that changes in home ownership might result in a majority of homeowners no longer desiring such a restriction on their property. The code does not make provisions for the City Council to initiate consideration of a single-story combining district.
