Staff notifies board of conditional-use revocation for 2213 Belle Tree Drive; appeal possible

Planning staff informed the board on Dec. 18 that the conditional use and zoning certificate for 2213 Belle Tree Drive were revoked on Dec. 11, 2025, after a code-enforcement visit found the property did not appear to be staffed 24 hours a day as required by the conditions approved on April 17, 2025.

Staff reviewed the original approval conditions — including required licensing before operation, 24-hour staffing, limits on unrelated residents and exclusion of residents with certain criminal histories — and said code enforcement discovered there was no license on file during an earlier visit. Staff subsequently received a copy of a license but determined 24/7 staffing remained unresolved, prompting issuance of the notice of revocation on Dec. 11.

Staff explained the revocation of the conditional use also removes the zoning certificate for the new use under the city code. The property has 14 days from the revocation notice to file an appeal; if an appeal is submitted it will come before the Planning and Zoning Board per the code. As staff described it, “they have 14 days to appeal the revocation, at which point they would come before this board.”

Board members pressed staff on whether the license predated operations and whether the site was currently running; staff said they did not know the start date of operations and that code enforcement will re-inspect the property to confirm whether it is operating. Staff said they were coordinating with the city attorney and would return to the board if an appeal is filed.

Several board members expressed concern about enforcement practices and whether the city has sufficient staff and procedures to check on conditions that were approved and later found not to be met. Staff said much of that enforcement is complaint-driven and often implemented in coordination with other departments, including the fire marshal and building department.
