Plan commission gives Ryan Street Rentals until 2030 to complete remaining buildings after neighbors complain about unfinished fence
Summary
After neighbors submitted a written complaint about an unfinished fence and landscaping, the commission debated whether to extend or tie a timeline to the conditional use permit for Ryan Street Rentals (project 2022392). Commissioners voted to amend the CUP timeline, setting a completion deadline of 2030 and requiring building permits consistent with state commercial code.
The Plan Commission and ETZ reviewed an amendment to the conditional use permit and site plan for Ryan Street Rentals LLC (project 2022392, 6508 Ryan Street). Staff told the commission the developer has completed one of four buildings and is asking to construct the remaining three buildings at a later date because market conditions have delayed progress.
Jeff, a representative for the applicant, told commissioners the project’s schedule is market- and finance-driven and preferred no fixed timeline. Neighbors Thomas and Diane Allery submitted a written complaint read into the record alleging a promised fence and landscaping along Fife Avenue were not completed; staff and building inspectors said they visited the site and provided photos in the packet showing landscaping and fence work per the approved plan, though staff acknowledged some replacement plantings remain outstanding.
Commission discussion focused on whether to keep a standard two-year site-plan timeline, allow a one- or multi-year extension, or set a longer fixed deadline. Several commissioners expressed sympathy for economic delay but concerned about open-ended approvals. After discussion the commission voted to amend the CUP timeline and set a completion date of 2030; the motion requires the applicant to apply for building permits consistent with state commercial code for each building and leaves staff responsible for plan review at permit submittal. The motion carried by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will record the amendment and the applicant must secure building permits for each future building; enforcement follow-up on neighbor concerns was recommended if issues continue.
