Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were three (3) comments at the public hearing. Nobody had any objections to the conditional use permit request.
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. The applicant currently only has a detached garage totaling 576 square feet. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to add a 576 square foot addition to the existing detached garage. The single detached garage would then total 1,152 square feet. The applicant has indicated that the additional garage space would be used for personal storage and to secure belongings.
The property survey provided shows an existing shed. The applicant has indicated that the existing shed will be removed, and it is a condition of approval that the shed be removed prior to the conduction of the final building inspection for the garage addition. The property survey also indicates that the paved driveway abuts the property line. The standards for the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district require a three (3) foot setback for driveways. So, the concrete driveway shown on the survey is not currently meeting the setback requirement. Therefore, it is also a condition of approval that the driveway be brought into compliance with setback requirements before the final building inspection for the addition is completed. To ensure that these items are taken care of, a $750 escrow needs to be established prior to issuance of a building permit for the new structure.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
