Applicant seeks conditional use permit to formalize duplex at Jerome Avenue property
Summary
Julie Beard requested a conditional use permit to recognize an existing two-unit arrangement at 7636 Jerome Avenue; neighbor questions focused on whether the structure would be demolished (applicant said no) and the bill moves to final reading.
Julie Beard told the council that she and her husband bought 7636 Jerome Avenue and that the house is already configured as a duplex with two kitchens, two HVAC systems and two entrances; she asked the council to grant a conditional use permit to permit the duplex in the SR (Single-Family Residential) district.
Neighbor Amby Stevenson (7606 Jerome), who said she serves as block captain, asked whether the project was a knockdown and rebuild; Beard responded it will be a renovation, not a demolition. Councilors noted off-street parking and garage access were present; there was no further public opposition. The council moved bill 63-37 (conditional use permit for 7636 Jerome) forward from 1st/2nd reading to a 3rd and final reading at the next meeting.
