Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit amendment. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to construct 1,666 square feet of attached accessory garage space. The applicant is requesting the CUP at this time because they are planning to construct a new home on this parcel. The applicant has stated that they would like the additional garage square footage to compensate for not constructing a basement in the new home.
The South Oaks development was established in 1992 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 would put in place modified standards for that property. Other garages in this neighborhood/zoning district have exceeded 1,200 square feet through a conditional use permit, which is what the standard is in this zoning district.
The conditions as outlined below are similar to the conditions that have been placed on other conditional use permits for garages that have been approved throughout the city.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
