AN ORDINANCE RELEASING DEDICATION FOR THE PROPERTIES ADDRESSED 801 SEMINARY PLACE AND 6701 SAN BONITA AVENUE

City Manager Gipson reported that in 1977, the City of Clayton granted a special permit, now known as a Conditional Use Permit, to Concordia Seminary for the construction of a three-story multi-family building to be used for married student housing at the property addressed 6701 San Bonita Avenue. A condition of the approval was that a portion of the property addressed 801 Seminary Place, directly north of the new building, would be dedicated for parking to support the new housing. As required, a deed restriction was recorded to ensure maintenance of the parking in accord with the City’s requirement. In 2019, Concordia Seminary renovated the multi-family building at 6701 San Bonita to convert the structure from student housing to market-rate rental units. As part of the renovation, parking was constructed adjacent to the building to facilitate parking for renters not associated with Concordia Seminary. This new parking has rendered the parking dedicated on 801 Seminary Place unnecessary to support the use of 6701 San Bonita. As such, Concordia Seminary is requesting release of the deed restriction.

Anna Krane, Director of Planning, was present to answer any questions.

Councilmember Buse introduced Bill No. 7155, approving the release of the parking deed restriction for 801 Seminary Place, Concordia Seminary to be read for the first time by title only. Councilmember Patel seconded.
