Background
Staff Report Prepared by Lori Johnson
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit amendment to allow for an 8-foot setback for living space (sport court) rather than the currently required 10-foot setback for living space in the Wagamon Ranch 3rd Addition.
The applicant would like to extend the wall of the home on the same side as the existing garage to include a sport court. However, living space (interpreted as any part of the house that is not garage) must meet the current setback of 10 feet. The garage for the home is currently setback at 12 feet, which exceeds the 5 foot garage setback requirement in Wagamon Ranch. The construction of the sport court would meet an 8 foot side yard setback, which is 2 feet less than the living space setback but more than the 5 foot garage setback.
The proposed addition must match architecturally with the existing house and attached garage. The plans that have been provided indicate that the structure will match the exterior materials and architecture of the existing home. This type of amendment for a sport court has been approved previously by the city council in other developments.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
