Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. A public comment was received in support of the application.
Background
The applicant wishes to build a 480 square foot detached garage on this property in order to provide space to store a boat and a trailer. There is currently a 440 square foot attached garage on this property. With this construction the property will have 920 square feet of garage space.
The original resolution for this development area does not specify requirements for detached garages. Therefore, a CUP amendment is required for the construction of a detached structure to ensure that the proposed overall area of garage and accessory building space aligns with the development goals of the RF zone. The City has approved several CUP amendments for similar type detached garages throughout the city.
The garage will match the existing detached structure and house. No trees will be removed with this addition to the structure.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
