Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
In the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district, a CUP is required for garages larger than 1,000 square feet and up to 1,200 square feet. Currently, the applicants have an attached garage that totals 560 square feet and a shed that totals 207 square feet. The applicant is requesting a CUP to build a detached garage totaling 528 square feet. The applicant has indicated that the existing shed will be removed. The total proposed garage space would then be 1,088 square feet.
The applicants are planning to use the additional accessory space to store a seasonal car along with some other yard maintenance equipment. The area in front of the proposed detached garage is already part of the paved driveway. The applicants have also indicated that the existing shed has become somewhat of an eye sore. Therefore, building the detached garage would be an improvement to the property. The colors and materials will need to match those of the existing house, and the shed will need to be removed prior the building permit being issued for the proposed garage.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
