capacity at 10 guests per night. This is
a Conditional Use Review.
Deadline:
Comments for the planner reviewing this case are due by 5pm on Sept 11, 2014. Email comments to Amanda Rhoads: Amanda.Rhoads@portlandoregon.gov
What is a Conditional
Use?
As explained in Portland code:
Certain
uses are conditional uses instead of being allowed outright, although they may
have beneficial effects and serve important public interests. They are subject
to the conditional use regulations because they may, but do not necessarily,
have significant adverse effects on the environment, overburden public
services, change the desired character of an area, or create major nuisances. A
review of these uses is necessary due to the potential individual or
cumulative impacts they may have on the surrounding area or neighborhood. The
conditional use review provides an opportunity to allow the use when there are
minimal impacts, to allow the use but impose mitigation measures to address
identified concerns, or to deny the use if the concerns cannot be
resolved.
What code governs the approval of this request?
You need to read two code sections for this case.
Portland BnB code, Title 33.212 which was referenced in the official notice was replaced on September 2, 2014 with Title 33.207. However, this application was filed while Title 33.212 (the old code) was in effect so it is the code used to govern this application. It isn't available online anymore, but I've posted a copy of it here:
