    The Council set March 22 hearings on special event permits under 31 days, a rezone at 2333 West North Temple Street (Airport Inn), a street vacation at 601 South 900 East, and homeless resource center and shelter text amendments. It also appointed Katie Darter (Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board), Kristina Olivas (Business Advisory Board), John Bradshaw (Airport Board) and Sarah Reale (Library Board), and reappointed Darin Piccoli to the Business Advisory Board. Council Member Mano's friendly amendment removed item G1 (special event permits), following the work session discussion.

    Discussed

    Planner Kelsey Lindquist said the city-initiated petition would remove the property from the Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay Influence Zone A so the Airport Inn could shift from a hotel to multifamily housing with stays over 30 days, as transitional housing under a voucher program. Council Member Petro-Eschler said she saw it as a back-door way to allow a shelter where one is not allowed; Council Member Fowler agreed it would create something the Council might not otherwise support. Council Member Darin Mano said the owner was seeking to change zoning to allow a use not permitted. Council Member Ana Valdemoros said the site could have other uses and voiced concern about another potential shelter on the west side. Staff said sound-barrier conditions could not be required because the city, not the owner, initiated the petition; Planning would ask whether sound-limiting work was done in renovations.

    The ordinance would remove the Airport Inn parcel from the Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay Influence Zone A so the hotel can operate as extended-stay transitional housing. The facility's owner told the Council there had been no issues at the current facility and asked for approval. One speaker worried the site would concentrate poverty; another said flight-path zoning maps should be reviewed more broadly to allow housing; another supported affordable housing. The hearing was closed and action deferred.
