Title
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR A 5-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR LIVING SPACE THAT IS PLACED ABOVE THE GARAGE FOR THE ST. ANDREWS VILLAGE ADDITION AT 117th AVENUE/HUPP STREET. TJB HOMES, INC. (CASE FILE NO. 05-127/SLK)

City Council (CUP Amendment) |

Background
The St. Andrews development began building homes on the 60 lots in 2006. The developer's initial intention was to build single level homes with extensive amenities in the homes and neighborhood, much of which has happened. The many recent changes in the housing industry however has caused the developer to market two-story homes in addition to the original format. Many of the two story homes, which have been purchased by families, have bonus rooms that provide additional living space (extra bedrooms) built over the garage. Garages are allowed to be placed 5-feet from the side yard.
The CUP amendment would clarify that living space built above that garage could also be at the 5-foot setback and would not have to meet the 8-foot setback that was established for this development.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
