Ocean Shores examiner hears application to subdivide two duplexes into individually owned units
Summary
The hearing examiner heard March 10 staff and applicant testimony on CUP 26000003 to place two two‑unit common‑wall residential structures at 627 Sunset Ave NE (four units total) and subdivide them for individual ownership; staff recommended conditions and the examiner will issue a written decision within 10 business days.
On March 10 the City of Ocean Shores hearing examiner took sworn testimony on conditional‑use permit CUP 26000003, a proposal to place two two‑unit common‑wall residential structures on a 0.23‑acre parcel at 627 Sunset Avenue NE and subdivide them so each unit may be individually owned.
City planner Christina Breault summarized the staff analysis: the proposed use is permitted in the R‑5 medium‑density zone, the application conforms with the 2020 comprehensive plan’s housing goals, and the project does not appear likely to create a nuisance or hazard. Breault recommended conditions similar to the previous item—construction meeting building and fire codes, adequate parking consistent with Ocean Shores Municipal Code, storm drainage design review, landscaping shown on plan, and system development charges.
Applicant Larry Butler said he and the property owner understand and agree with the conditions of approval and had no additional information. The examiner solicited public testimony; none was offered. The examiner adjourned the item and said he will issue a written decision within 10 business days.
Next steps: the hearing record includes staff reports, site plans and notices; the examiner’s written decision will indicate whether the application meets the applicable municipal code standards.
