Subject: [OldNorth] ONDNA interest group -- 501 G demolition and Oeste
 Manor's "rental permit" proposal
Message-ID: <a06240803c76df4c94550@[192.168.1.136]>

Old North Davis interest group,
	Below is a note from the city's planning staff that a 
demolition permit has been received for the old Union 76 gas station 
at nw corner of 5th and G  (501 G).   The city's notice is also 
attached.
	Also below is a notice from Oeste Manor's neighborhood about 
a meeting next Monday at 7 at the Redwood Meeting Room on Chaves 
Elementary on Anderson.  There will be a discussion of a proposal to 
restore the city's policy of requiring  business permits for rented 
houses and rented rooms within houses.  It is called a neighborhood 
safety ordinance and is attached (with email note also below).  I'll 
be attending the Monday meeting three days from now and others are 
invited.  My personal opinion is to support the ordinance but I'll 
not represent my views as those of ONDNA;  I will relay other 
individual opinions of ONDNA board members and OND residents.  That 
proposed ordinance is also attached.

Dennis,
I wanted to let the association know that we received a demolition 
application for 501 G Street to remove the service station building, 
canopies, and underground tanks. No plans have been submitted for any 
development on the site at this point. There is a comment period. 
Here is the notice.

This seems like a non-controversial issue - or does someone consider the 
gas station to have historic value?

The one possible problem would be the adequacy of cleanup, especially 
below ground - I think the City has historically been on top of that. 
Any neighbors with concerns?

There's something fishy about this: it's called a "Rental Housing Safety Ordinance" yet most of it addresses "loud  and unruly gatherings".

The latter is a real issue; but the only connection to rental safety and licensing seems to be the ability to find the owner in the rental database. Did I miss something?

I have a definite concern about the inclusion of rooms rented in a private residence. So when Grandma needs a little help or companionship, and rents out the spare room, she'll need to get a business license and pay a tax?

I would like to see single rooms in owner-occupied homes excluded from this - unless there is a compelling reason for their inclusion?

I agree that the exclusion of rooms/units rented in owner occupied houses
makes sense.  If the owner lives on site, there are rarely problems and, if
there are, the owner is, well on-site.  So, I would recommend that, as long
as the owner lives X% of the year on site, they be excluded.  The other
issues is sabbatical rentals, which shouldn't trigger a business license
requirement, but could require notification and contact information of where
folks are going to be.

Aside from loud and unruly gatherings, I would just like the database to be
able to call the owners when the grass gets three feet high or the lawn is
turned into a parking lot.  Both are nuisance issues for which complaints
can be filed with the city leading to fines, but our city has better things
to do and the owners can fix it by calling their tenants.
