Subject:PC Communication: Please consider removing item 3b from the consent calendar
from the June 11th Planning Commission Meeting
Good evening Commissioners,
My name is Chris Green, the President with the Delta Chi Fraternity for the upcoming school year.
Thank you for your service to our city.
Please consider removing item 3b from the consent calendar to discuss the Draft Resolution to
revoke the Conditional Use Permit for use of 1236 Monte Vista Place as a fraternity.
After the extensive conversation last week about the real concerns raised by the community and
discussions of how best to find a solution moving forward, we would like to work collaboratively on
how we can work to address those concerns and to outline our Fraternity's commitment to the
community.
Our fraternity chapter wants to do right by the community and continue to have a registered
framework and agreement with the city. We feel that our Delta Chi chapter can be a good example of
what a Fraternity can be as a neighbor. Revoking our permit and requiring us to reapply over
modifying the existing permit will cost our organization up to $11,000 dollars, which would need to be
covered by our members, many of which have summer jobs and jobs while in school to cover rent
and tuition. Instead of revoking the permit, we would like to find a way to develop the Conditional Use
Permit framework in a manner that gives the commissioners comfort in approving the findings.
The resolution language was not before the commission last week during the discussion, and
because of the significant discussion last week on the decision at hand, an opportunity for the
discussion of the resolution language would ensure it fully encompasses the prior discussion.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.
I hope to express to you our fraternity chapter's goal to become the model neighbor for our
community members through the regulated conditional use process through the city and would
appreciate the opportunity for a discussion with the city on how we can move forward to remain within
the fold of being a good partner with the community.
Thank you,
Chris Green
