Project: Sheldon House Bed and Breakfast — APU140001
Project Description: This is request to add Bed and breakfast establishment with 12 or fewer beds as a
permitted use in the existing historic Sheldon House Bed and Breakfast at 616 West Mulberry Street.
The property is situated in the Neighborhood Conservation Medium Density (NCM) zone district in the
first block west of Canyon Avenue. The proposal is to increase the number of beds from the current 8 to
12 with no change in the maximum occupancy which would remain at 14. The proposal would replace
queen and double beds with single beds. The request for Addition of a Permitted Use (APU) involves the
requested number of beds in the house and does not involve any physical changes to the property.
Recommendation: Approval
Vice Chair Kirkpatrick recused herself at 6:11 pm due to a conflict of interest.
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence
Staff and Applicant Presentations:
City Planner Mapes made a brief presentation of this project. Kelsey Schwager, Applicant, made a
PowerPoint presentation, during which she illustrated the current status of the Sheldon House and how
the proposed changes would affect the capacity, variety and potential viability of the Sheldon House.
She stated that these changes will prevent a decline in future business. She also indicated that there
has been a tremendous amount of support from neighbors, and she believes that this building is
extremely compatible with the area. No exterior alterations will be made to the building, as it has been
listed as an historic home.
Chair Carpenter called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.

Agenda Review
Chair Carpenter provided background on the board's role and what the audience could expect as to the
order of business. She described the following processes:
• While the City staff provides comprehensive information about each project under consideration,
citizen input is valued and appreciated.
• The Board is here to listen to citizen comments. Each citizen may address the Board once for
each item.
• Decisions on development projects are based on judgment of compliance or non-compliance with
city Land Use Code.
• Should a citizen wish to address the Board on items other than what is on the agenda, time will
be allowed for that as well.
• This is a legal hearing, and the Chair will moderate for the usual civility and fairness to ensure
that everyone who wishes to speak can be heard.
Director Kadrich reviewed the items on both the Consent and Discussion agendas and also explained
the consent/discussion procedure.
Public Input on Items Not on the Agenda:
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, spoke about the intersection at Elizabeth and Overland Trail,
saying he didn't believe it would be safe or efficient. He indicated that was very dissatisfied with the
entire process.
Secretary Cosmas read a letter that was received at the start of the hearing from Ally Roth written in
support of the CSU Bus Turnaround (Exhibit 1).
