ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
6. DISCUSS OPPOSITION TO 2525 NORTH MAIN STREET PROJECT
The following public comment was received:
Dale Helvig spoke in opposition to the proposed project located at 2525 North Main
Street.
Assistant City Attorney reviewed the powers and duties of the Commission. Advised that
the proposed project is not historical and therefore outside the purview of the
Commission. If the Commission desires to adopt a Resolution in opposition to the
proposed project, the findings must not refer specifically to the project. Discussion ensued
regarding possible findings to be made:
Inappropriate project intensity and massing adjacent to a single-family residential
neighborhood;
Project is incompatible with the adjacent historically sensitive Park Santiago
neighborhood ;
Project is disproportionate in size to the adjacent historically sensitive Park
Santiago neighborhood;
Potential parking and traffic impacts on the area and neighborhood;
Potential negative effects on existing property values; and
The need to protect the livability of established neighborhoods.
Staff will review comments and draft a resolution for review and consideration at the next
regularly scheduled meeting.
