A man named Michael Brown wants to turn his house at 1105 McDonald Street into a vacation rental. The city is considering his request and will hold a public hearing to decide if it can happen. The house is in a residential area and will have rules to limit noise and the number of people staying there. The city has looked into how this vacation rental will affect the neighborhood and believes it will be a good fit. They also say the project is exempt from certain environmental assessments. The city will make a decision after the public hearing.

Whene’er the Planning Commission meets,
To discuss a Brown Vacation Retreats,
A staff report they surely bring,
To address the concerns of everything.
The project located on McDonald Street,
A minor use permit the Applicant seeks,
For a Vacation Rental, with no owner near,
Approval with conditions, is what they hear.
The property, a single-family abode,
With four bedrooms to be let, the place to be towed,
No parties allowed, quiet hours decree,
No smoking, no Pit Bulls, no harm shall be.
The staff report analyzes the site,
To ensure all is suitable and right,
Consistent with the General Plan, it’s found,
No detriment to health, safety abound.
CEQA exempts the project, it’s clear,
No need for further environmental fear,
A resolution to be adopted soon,
For the Vacation Rental, beneath the moon.
So raise a glass to Michael Brown,
His Vacation Rental, the talk of the town,
Approved with conditions, the Planning Commission decrees,
A Scottish poem for Brown Vacation, if you please.
