Summary
A request to modify parking and allow a multifamily use at or near 20911 Beaconsfield was tabled to the January meeting after staff and the applicant agreed to additional review with the building department; written opposition from nearby residents about parking and single-family character was read into the record.
The Planning Commission on Dec. 4 voted to table consideration of a proposed modification and special land use related to 20911 Beaconsfield until the January meeting so the applicant can work more closely with the building department.
Staff read two written comments into the record objecting to the change: a letter from Michael Andre expressing opposition to converting the neighborhood to multifamily and asking that on-street parking and single-family character be preserved; and a letter from Paul and Marsha Bosek of Ridgemont Street that raised worries about parking overflow and the small size of the lot adjacent to condominium buildings across the street.
Planner and administration told commissioners the applicants asked for additional time to coordinate with the building department; commissioners accepted that explanation and the motion to table carried on a roll-call vote of members present.
Why it matters: neighbors are concerned about parking and preserving single‑family character; tabling allows staff and the applicant to address those technical and code issues before the commission considers the matter again.
Next steps: the item will return at the commission’s January meeting after further work with building-department staff and any revisions the applicant files.
