Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to construct a 907 square foot addition to an existing attached garage. The CUP is required for accessory building space in excess of 1,200 square feet.
The existing attached garage is 768 square feet. The construction of the addition to the existing attached garage would result in a total accessory building square footage of 1,675 square feet.
The proposed addition would be located on the front side of the existing attached garage.
The proposed addition matches the existing house and attached garage. The plans that have been provided for the garage indicate that the attached structure will match the exterior materials and architecture of the existing home and detached accessory building.
The proposed garage space will be used for collector car storage.
The North Oaks West development was established in 1983 under the RF (Residential Flex) zoning provisions. The standards that guide construction on this property were incorporated into the original conditional use permit for this development. This request, if approved, would amend the conditional use permit for the applicant’s lot and put in place modified standards for that property. The standard for total garage space in this development is 1,200 square feet, but conditional use permit amendments have been granted to several other properties in this development in the past for garage space over 1,200 square feet. This conditional use permit amendment is not inconsistent with other approvals granted for this development.
The conditions listed are similar to other conditions placed on other conditional use permits for garages within North Oaks West. It should be noted that the garage cannot be used for a home occupation and it must be used for personal storage and use only.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
