Central Point Station Major Modification

Application Summary

Central Point Station, LLC ("Applicant") is requesting a modification to the Site Plan and Architectural Review approval (Planning Commission Resolution No. 881) to allow the following:

• Temporary long-term rentals in place of required short-terms rentals opn the ground floor at 910 and 920 North Haskell Street. The request is in response to the housing shortage and need for health care professionals at Asante medical facilities; 
   
• Relocate the required ground floor short-term rental units in 910 and 920 North Haskell STreet to the upper stories of 900 North Haskell Street; and,
   
• Allow future adjustment of hte short-term rental unit locations to any building or floor at 900-950 North Haskell Street. The adjustments would be based on market demand and Applicant's request is to avoid having to apply for future modifications. 

The original land use approval was for a mixed-use development in the High Mix Residential zone on the 2.19 acre site. The approval included construction of five (5) buildings with frontage on Twin Creeks Crossing, North Haskell Street and Golden Peak Drive. Per the Twin Creeks Master Plan ("Master Plan"), Exhibit 36,  ground floor commercial is required on the ground floor of builidngs fronting Twin Creeks Crossing and North Haskell Street. In rendering its decision to approve the original application, the Planning Commission interpreted short-term (e.g. "VRBO") units as meeting the commercial requirement. Short-term rentals are defined in CPMC 3.24 as stays that are less than 30-days in duraton.
