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 allow a 7.5 foot side yard setback for the construction of 600 square foot sport court addition to the house. The current side yard setback that was established with the Lakes Development in 2003 for a home/living space is 10 feet.
The applicant would like to extend the wall for the home on the same side as the existing garage to include a sport court. However, living space (interpreted as any part of the house that is not garage) must meet the current setback of 10 feet and the garage wall is at a 5 foot setback. The construction of the sport court would meet a minimum 7.5 foot side yard setback where it meets the garage.
The proposed addition must match architecturally with the existing house and attached garage. The plans that have been provided indicate that the structure will match the exterior materials and architecture of the existing home.
A similar request was approved by the City Council in The Lakes development in 2017 for another enclosed sport court.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
