COUNCIL BUSINESS A. Public Hearing: Resolution 9576, Conditional Use Permit and Development Review for H2 Flats at 2662 Scotland Court. Community Development Director Sevald stated H2 Flats was built in 1972, and includes 11 buildings, totaling 385 units.

The building will be in the same location as proposed in 1978 (open area along County Road H2). Additionally, dumpster enclosures will be rebuilt. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for the expansion of a Multi-Family facility (e.g. Club House).

This application is specific to the Club House, although the entirety of the property may be included in the Council’s discussions. The property is zoned R-4 High Density Residential, and guided Multi- Family Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
