Commission recommends interim use permit for single‑family dwelling in downtown district
Staff presented an interim use permit request for 20975 Howland Avenue after the applicant, Ken Pitcher, did not attend. Miss Jensen explained the ordinance amendment that now allows interim use permits for single‑family homes in the RH CBD district so homeowners can make modest improvements even though the long‑term land use is guided for higher density downtown.

"This is an interim use permit request for the property at 20975 Howland Avenue," Jensen said, adding staff recommended approval with two stipulations and adoption of findings of fact. The commission closed the public hearing with no speakers and voted unanimously to recommend approval to City Council.
