Hearing on conversion at 1118 North Kerry Street recessed after applicant absent
Summary
A zoning hearing for 1118 North Kerry St. (conditional conversion of a single-family dwelling to three units) was held in the applicant's absence; housing staff said the building is on a city-identified demolition list and planning recommended a technical amendment, so the committee recessed the bill pending further housing information.
The Land Use & Transportation Committee on March 26 opened the hearing on Council Bill 2500128 (conditional conversion of 1118 North Kerry St. from a single-family to a three-unit dwelling) but the applicant (Derek Shaw) was not present. The chair said the committee would proceed to hear bill reports but would not vote that day.
Agency reports: Law approved the bill for form and deferred to planning on amendments; BMZA registered no objection; DOT offered no recommendation; Housing staff said the property appears on a city list marked for demolition and would require further investigation to determine whether demolition proceedings or litigation affect the zoning request; Fire department raised standard compliance points. Planning recommended a technical correction to required lot-area calculations (changing a figure from 1,500 to 1,250 square feet to reflect rounding rules), which reduced the variance needed.
Outcome: The chair recessed the item to allow housing and the sponsor to provide the requested additional information; no vote was taken.
