( i )Supportive of LUPP ;This property has been in use as a rental property for over 40 years and is in
congruence with`,the historical character of the neighborhood. it complies with the medium density 1-2 j
}
family residential/Apit dwelling less than 12 units, land use mapping of the City of Ames.There will not
k i be more than one unit used in this rental building for Vacation Lodging and only 2 Adults permitted.
Additionally, it supports the Downtown area LUPP (promotion of commerce), as the "vacationing
guests"frequent thebusinesses, restaurants,shops and groceries all within walking distance of this unit.
We have had feedback from renters that this feature is quite desirable. i
(ii)The property has been maintained the past 40 years in congruence with the historical character of
the historic district, which is valued by the property owner. LOC permits have been consistently granted
as the maintenance c f high-quality rental units has been a priority. The vacation lodging unit will not
change the characteristic of the building,the area or standard of rental.Accessibility to the guest
lodging unit will remain the same as current tenant usage.
(iii)As the property's existing use is as a 4 plex rental property,the use of one unit as guest lodging will
be in accordance with the same purpose the building has served since 1997.Vacation lodging guests are
screened through the Airbnb platform and on-site management assures compliance with regulations i
avoiding potential disturbances.
(iv) Property is currently serviced by all public facilities and services and this use will not change the
" usage of the services;
(v)There will be nn,additional impact.on the public facilities beyond what is already in place. Yse of the f
ak 'public library or public transportation would likely not be different or possibly less than if a long-term €
' resident were to beIas,ing the same space.
(vi) No activity of#hi�'type will be involved. It will not change from its current rental-use. i
(vii)There will be no FhVges in usage,. It has been an established rental property for over 40 years and is!
zoned accordingly.This is a rental activity,well supervised,screened and managed.The historical value,
appearance and character of the home will not change,
• 9. Residential pone Standards i
(i)The impact on`traffic patterns wound not change from that of the current residents that enCer and
leave the property t4oughout the day.the traffic potentially will lessen as there will not be 100% j
occupancy so daily patterns,of lgng-term.tenants will n,ot be in place.
i
(ii)As the property iscurrently used as a 4 plex rental,fhe use of this single unit for vacation lodging will I
not impact the existing pattern of the area. Usual activity of tenants coming and going will be the same.
No additional services will'be required as a result of this use. i
m Waste mans ement trucks are the singular vehicles that access the property through the alley and
" pick up on the alley from the parking area dumpster.That pattern will continue at the same rate, I
(iv)Vacation lodging:clients must adhere to the same contract as the long-term rental tenants. Quiet
j )§ hours from 100M to SAM. Check in is at 1 PM and Check out at 11AM.The check in process is a self- j
check in procedure Uut we are informed of the times of arrival and departure to monitor for appropriate!
parameters.A Resident manager is on site and monitors compliance to all regulations.

II
(v)There will not be an additional loss of residential land due to this project as zoning is RM already.The
. remaining units in the 4 Plex will remain as long term rentals.Abiding by the 1 unit per parcel
regulations supports not removing the residential quality from this community.
(vi)The building was constructed in 1885 and will remain structurally as is.There are no needed
modifications to convert the one unit to guest lodging.
(vii)The lot adjoins with a 4-plex rental property to North and off street parking lot(same owner)To the
east there is a large open yard space (same owner)adjacent to the alley and it is located on the corner.
'1 of 71h Street and Douglas Ave.Given there are no immediate adjoining neighbors. Impact with these
adjacent properties should be negligible.There are several other rental properties on 7tn Ave and a
business immediately south.
(viii) Zoning in this area is RM with the O-SFC overlay.As the 0-SFC is intended to protect single-family
+' neighborhoods while also guiding the transition to higher density uses that would be compatible with
the surrounding areas,this single unit conversion will not impact the general quality and appearance of
the neighborhood and is supportive of a slightly higher density use already in place. It will promote
appreciation for vacationing guests to recognize the neighborhood characteristics as a major part of the
City's identity portraying a positive image of the historic and downtown districts of the city.The existing
structure already supports and promotes local design qualities. Overall, it could stabilize and improve
property values, as this use has shown to increase the current minimal profit margins of the existing
long-term rentals. Feedback provided by vacationing guests has supported the appreciation of the area
and downtown; all conveniently within walking distance of this unit.As the use of this property is
currently rental residential,the change in culture intended by the current zoning will not be impacted.
With substantial o 1 ff-street parking and the property surrounded by only one residential residence to the
North,there should be no disturbance noticed in the neighborhood by this single unit conversion.
