GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW A 5.5 FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK RATHER THAN A 10 FOOT SETBACK FOR AN APPROXIMATELY 500 SQUARE FOOT ENCLOSED SPORT COURT ADDITION TO THE HOUSE, LOCATED AT 3133 120TH COURT NE. JERCO CONSTRUCTION. (CASE FILE NO. 20-0039/SLK)

Background

Staff Report Prepared by Shawn Kaye

 

The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to allow a 5.5 foot side yard setback for the construction of an approximately 500 square foot sport court addition to the house. The current side yard setback that was established with the Lakes development in 2003 for a home/living space is 10 feet. The garage setback for the Lakes development is 5 feet.

 

The applicant would like to extend the wall for the home on the same side as the existing garage (east side of the home) 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 and the garage wall is at a 5.5 foot setback. The construction of the sport court would meet a 5.5 foot side yard setback and be in line with the garage construction.

 

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 in the past by the city council.

 

Recommendation

By motion, approve the Resolution.
