STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Ruben Lozoya is requesting a specific use permit to allow an insurance
office in an RCR (Residential Conservation and Revitalization) District.
The property is located at 2633 North.
In February, 2004, City Council granted a specific use permit for this
property to allow an ultra-sound imaging studio. Approval was
granted subject to providing four parking spaces at the rear of the
building. Those parking spaces were provided as required. However,
the imaging studio has since closed.
Mr. Lozoya would now like to operate his insurance office out of the
building. He is a licensed insurance and financial representative with
the Farmers Insurance Group. Hours of operation will be 9:00 a. m.
to 5:00 p. m., Monday - Friday and on Saturdays by appointment
only.
Exhibits are attached.
