REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 11 January 2016 <br /> <br />ITEM NO: 13 <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Name Jeremy Barnhart JML Planning Department Report <br />Title Community Development Director <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Item Description: Vacate Conditional Use Permit at 2500 Shadywood Road <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br />Letter of Request dated December 17, 2015 <br />Resolution 3561 <br />Draft Resolution <br /> <br />Purpose. Council is requested to formally extinguish the Conditional Use Permit that authorized 2500 <br />Shadywood to be used as a research and educational center. This Conditional Use Permit was issued by <br />Resolution# 3561 on May 22, 1995. <br /> <br />Background. The purchasers of the Freshwater building, in their title examination, noted a Conditional <br />Use Permit encumbers the property. While the CUP runs with the land until the use ceases for a period <br />of 6 months, the purchasers desire to remove this encumbrance formally. Since the CUP was granted by <br />resolution, the CUP should be vacated or extinguished by resolution. <br /> <br />The purchasers will use the property for an office use, and will not be conducting research as outlined in <br />the Conditional Use Permit in 1995. Among the conditions of the original resolution was the ability of <br />the city to use the building for elections. Regardless of Council action, the city will need to identify an <br />alternative site for the 2016 election, as the education and research will cease at the closing of the sale, <br />and the CUP will expire 6 months later. <br /> <br />The draft resolution will extinguish the Conditional Use Permit in title searches. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Staff recommends that Council approve the resolution as drafted.
