Use Permit and Environmental Assessment to Construct a New Two-Unit Residential Duplex at 320 Woodrow Street
Senior Planner Tatum Mothershead gave a PowerPoint presentation of the project site and reviewed the applicant’s request for approval of a use permit to demolish the existing home and construct a new three story duplex with six parking spaces, four in the enclosed garage and two in the driveway at 320 Woodrow Street.
These plans are similar to plans for a project at the same address and were approved by the Planning Commission and City Council in November 2004. Use permits expire one year after issuance unless a building permit was received. In this case, they did not receive a building permit so the use permit expired.

It was moved by Councilmember Guingona, seconded by Councilmember Gomez and carried by unanimous roll call vote to adopt the following resolution:
