16-SUP). Grant White, Planner
Grant White presented the staff report.
Commissioner Stanley asked for clarification on the health, welfare, and safety approval
criteria and what goes into that analysis. Travis Baird explained that that particular criteria
is vague, and staff generally refers to Chapter 1 of the Unified Development Code for
guidance on what elements to examine. Staff looks at the criteria as objectively as
possible.
Baird elaborated staffs suggested condition on the item, clarifying that there are no
restrictions on whether or not a property can be leased out in our UDC.
Discussion on short-term rentals at this property.
Vice -Chair Heintzmann commented that SUPs are intended for extraordinary conditions,
and this neighborhood is established as single family. She is concerned this would affect
the character of the neighborhood. Commissioner Stanley commented that it would not
be illegal for the owners to rent the property, and the suggested
conditions on the SUP would not allow a multi -family configuration on this property.
Discussion on the use of Accessory Dwelling Units.
Vice -Chair Heintzmann opened the public hearing.
Jill Fussell, 402 Village Commons Blvd., approached the podium to address the
Commission and voiced concerns regarding the limited parking on and around the
subject property, as well as the impervious cover and potential encroachment of the
driveway into the Critical Root Zone of a large oak tree.
Melora Jacober, 1109 Clove Hitch Dr., approached the podium to address the
Commission and explained that there are 4-5 people living and/or renting rooms at this
property in violation of the neighborhood CCRs. Jacober said that renters are not subject
to screening and check in online without ever meeting the owners of the property. The
alley where tenants get access to the property butts up to an elementary school. Jacober
voiced concern that the burden is placed on the community to hire an attorney to enforce
their CCRs.
Brian Ortega, 125 Cedar Elm Ln., approached the podium to address the Commission
and established that he has lived in Georgetown for 25 years and has served on several
Boards within the city. Ortega voiced concern over the intended use of the property, as
well as the alleyway parking configuration. Ortega asks the Commission to deny this SUP
request.
Jessica Consen, 1082 Bowline Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission.
Jennifer Knight, 1105 Clove Hitch Dr., ceded one minute of her time to Consen. Consen
established that she has seen over 80 tenants filter through this property over the years,
and voiced concerns over tenant behavior and unsafe activity. Consen explained that she
is not against Airbnbs, but is instead opposed to the lack of safety this property and its
management brings to the neighborhood due to the lack of owner investment in the
community. She is concerned with the safety of her children and elderly neighbors, and
has called the police several times due to unsafe tenant activity around this property.
Consen urges the Commission to deny this request.
John Nelson, 233 Village Park Dr., approached the podium to address the Commission.
Jennifer Knight, 1105 Clove Hitch Dr., ceded one minutes of her time to Nelson. Nelson
explained that this property is owned by an LLC consisting of friends living in California
who do not live on the property. An old jeep from previous tenants is still parked in the
driveway and occupying one of their parking spots.
Vice -Chair Heintzmann closed the public hearing.
Moved by Stephen F Dickey; seconded by Doug Noble to Deny Item 2.13.
Commissioner Dickey commented that this does not work in this neighborhood, and the
property is listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo. He is also unclear about what is planned for the
oak tree near the driveway.
