Council denies request to remove deed restriction at 201 Ridge Road
Summary
Council denied a request from the Holdens to lift a 2005 deed restriction that bars rental use at 201 Ridge Road, citing the block's largely owner-occupied character and the public benefit of preserving an owner-occupied pocket neighborhood.
Council reviewed a request from James and Jill Holden to remove a deed restriction placed in 2005 that prohibits rental use at 201 Ridge Road. Planning staff recounted the 2005 approval process and the applicant's prior self-imposed deed restriction; neighbors spoke in opposition, describing the block as primarily owner-occupied and urging preservation.
Council Member Whelan moved to deny the request, arguing the deed restriction contributes to a valuable owner-occupied pocket neighborhood; Meadows and other council members supported denial. The motion carried by voice vote and the request to remove the restriction was denied.
