The property the complaint was regarding is 5848 Main Street, Asses- sor's Map 17-02-34-32 Tax Lot 00300. The complaint was regarding the use of this building and it's relation- ship to the RP zoning that was approved some years back. In reviewing the City's records for this property it was discovered that the property .did, at one time, have Residential-Professional (RP) zoning. However, the City Council discontinued the RP zoning district in 1986 and all properties which were zoned RP in the past reverted to their original zoning. In the case of this property the. zoning is now Low Density Residential (LDR). Residential-professional uses which were legally established under the original RP zoning are permitted to continue in accordance with Article 5 NON-CONFORMING USES of the Springfield Development Code. All uses which continue must also be in conformance with the uses permitted in the use list. The permitted uses list is very specific and includes the following: accountants, architects, attorneys,.. computer programmers, engineers, insurance agencies, medical and dental practitioners, planners, realtors and studios for artists, interior decorators and photographers. Properties which were zoned RP and never developed those properties through the site plan and building permit processes can not develop the properties with RP uSeS unless they meet the newly adopted standards in Article 16. One of the standards is that the property must abut commercially zoned/designated property. The property at 5848 Main Street does not abut commercially zoned/designated property. The only way for it to be used for an RP use is i~ it received valid permits and was developed for an RP use AND the use of the building as an approvedRP use has not ceased for 90 days or longer. The complaint the City received was that the use operating from the building at 5848 Main Street is not one of the uses listed as permitted. It is my understanding that your business operates from a building in front of this building at 5846 Main Street and that your business is on the permitted use list (insurance). '- .'1 . , ",...,.. ~, .' . Please contact this office within ten (10) days of the date of this letter regarding this matter. I will need verification of the use operating from 5848 Main Street as well as information that the building received building permits and was reviewed through the site plan review process to be used for residential-professional offices. It is the City's standard practice to inform citizens of a violation and request.that it be corrected within a reasonable time. In the event that you have not taken corrective action by the assigned time, deadline, a civil infraction citation will be issued to the resident/and or property owner. I thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me at 726-3759 to arrange a time to discuss this matter and review the situation.

ACM FI COMP JUDGMENT C011PLlANCE NOTIFY DCA ACM FI COMP Form #214 . .- y.,-- ,.f' ~i Limits anger owner ()f_carpet-cleaning firm By STEVE COLLIER News Staff Writer The Springfield Planning Commission Wednesday pulled the rug out from under a Springfield man's objections to restrictions placed on the carpet-cleaning business he operates out of his Cascade Drive home. Greg Mott. the city's development code administrator, said the commission upheld restrictions placed on Terry Comstock's Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing and Cleaning Company. Planning director Greg Winterowd agreed to grant Comstock a home occupation permit for 501 Cascade Drive, but only if he agreed to limit the number of business vehicles permitted at the residence to one at any given time and forgo on-site cleaning of company equipment_ Comstock appealed Winterowd's decision to the commission, which held a 2y,-hour public hearing on the matter Wednesday. Mott said five neighbors testified against the propriety of having the business in their . :! Thurston nliis' nei'ghb~rhooci. Another six submitted letters of concern, he said. Comstock argued :. that .Winterowd had erred In prohibitin'g ':. the.' company from dispatching vehicles horn the house. on the basic that his busines;;"traffic is minimal. He also maintainedthabitiy equipment cleaning is done inside the house and has no effect on the neighbors. . After the meeting. 'Comstock said he ob- jected as well to the fact that commissioners were given a history of complaints from a previous business location in the packet they used to decide this appeal. Comstock also contended that with all the vacant lots in his'. neighborhood, only one neighbor can even see what goes on at 501 Cascade Drive. .. .' The commission's 'decision to uphold Winterowd's conditions was unanimous. Comstock said Friday that he would not spend the $300 required .foran appeal to the city council, .but he insisted that his business could continue to operate.. THANKS! '. In particular. Comstock noted that since he opened an office at 5848 Main St. 10 days ago, in his opinion that eliminates the need to get a home occupation permit. "If they cite me," Comstock told the News, "then excuse me for saying it, but they can go straight to hell." In other business Wednesday the com- mission took a first look at a proposed or- dinance to allow mobile homes as hardship residences in case of medical or housing emergencies. Mott said the commission addressed the ordinance itself only briefly in its one-hour work session. Instead. he said the com- missioners focused on the larger issue of whether the city should permit a wider range of housing alternatives for incapacitated relatives. As a result of its discusson, the commission took no action on the ordinance request. Instead. it decided to ask the city council to appoint a task force to look into the broader issue.
