Kenneth Pitcher requested an interim use permit to expand his 1920 single‑family home at 20975 Holland Avenue by about 300 square feet. Staff explained the property sits in a Central Business District zoning category where some single‑family homes are nonconforming; the interim use permit would allow modest expansions while preserving the long‑term redevelopment vision for the area.
Council moved to approve the interim use permit and adopted the staff findings of fact by roll call. Staff noted approximately 15 similar single‑family properties fall into the same category and said the interim-use approach allows these naturally occurring, more affordable homes to remain viable while larger redevelopment timelines play out.
