MEMORANDUM
•
TO: FRANK G. TRIPEPI , CITY MANAGER
FROM: PETER J. LYONS , DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
DATE: MARCH 5, 1997
RE: REHAB CASE-8749 MISSION DRIVE-(PERMIT DENIAL)
At the February 18th Rehabilitation Board meeting,Boardmember Imperial requested a
memorandum regarding the denial of a request by the property owner to add electrical service to
an old structure on the rear portion of the subject property.
The property in question currently contains a duplex, a single family home with a garage
conversion, and an old structure that was originally built in 1940. Last year,just after buying the
property, the current owners came to City Hall and requested a permit to add electrical service to
the old structure. Because the property is currently zoned C-I(Neighborhood Commercial), and
the structure had not been used for residential purposes for several years, staff denied the request.
The structure is non-conforming and aside from being used as storage, can not be intensified or
enlarged.
Staff, along with Boardmember Imperial-meet with the owner yesterday. After inspecting the site
the owners agreed to correct all substandard conditions.
If you have any additional questions regarding this property, please let me know.

We are in good faith attempting to correct the "defects" our your list. We are impoving the
property, slowly but surely, as our finances allow. We have already cleaned up the
property and removed all items on the property that are not claimed by the tenants.
Please note that this is a rental property and occupied by tenants. Any items remaining are
claimed by the tenants and even though they are "junk" to you,cannot be removed by the
landlord, otherwise we could be sued by the tenants.
We have already sent letters to the tenants letting them know of the city's desires. The
tenant has also assured us that the garage has not been converted to a living area.
Sincerely,
(ecu y 70/244.,_ ft.>
