2-0080 Jackson B&B INCOMPLETE.pdf
Hello Mr. Devlin,
Rather than deem your project incomplete for a second Ɵme, I’m asking that you address comment #6 of the August 8, 2022 incompleteness leƩer which requires the plans to be updated to reflect what is being requested. The plans clearly state, “Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)” and revising the plans to remove any informaƟon that isn’t applicable to the request for a B&B is necessary. Simply staƟng “no ADU or exterior changes planned” in an e-mail is not a sufficient response to the incompleteness request.
T
hat being said, your applicaƟon will be deemed complete by the end of the month, but it is highly recommended that the plan be corrected and re-submiƩed prior to scheduling a hearing. It’s likely that the project will be scheduled in late February (2/16) but this is a tentaƟve date that will be finalized before the second week of January. It important to noƟfy you that Staff’s posiƟon will not likely be supporƟve of the proposal due to the smaller size of the home, limited number of rooms and lack of typical ameniƟes that are provided by a typical bed and breakfast.
One of the principal purposes of the Bed & Breakfast Inns ordinance is to assist in the preservaƟon and adapƟve reuse of the city’s historic resources. The intent of this is predicated on the understanding that there is a significant expense associated with renovaƟng a typical Victorian home which are usually large and contain several bedrooms as well as mulƟple rooms (formal dining rooms, parlors and drawing rooms. The size of which requires substanƟal cost to renovate and preserve and which is larger than the typical modern family needs to inhabit. Whereas the home at 962 Jackson Street has only three bedrooms, a living room and kitchen and contains only 1,200 square feet. It could be ATTACHMENT 6

ered too small for a large family with 3 or more children. This is similar to a typical modern home and would be no diff

Thank you,

Mr Allen,
Please see aƩached revised project leƩer. I took out the sentence regarding the ADU and exterior landscaping. I don’t plan to make any changes to the exterior.
I addressed quesƟon #3- “bathroom will be shared by manager and guests”.
QuesƟon #4- When I spoke to the first planner he said I didn’t have to do elevaƟon plans. I have the use permit that he checked off.
Is this something that is required now?
QuesƟon #5- I believe this list was already sent, correct? QuesƟon #6- No ADU or exterior changes planned.
QuesƟon #7- No exterior landscaping plans.
Please let me know what else is required.
Best,
Robert
