K ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of
one (1) duplex structure on the property at 3004 S. Izard Street. The property is
comprised of two (2) narrow platted lots; Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Ebendale Addition.
The property is located on the west side of S. Izard Street, just south of West 30t"
Street. The property is currently undeveloped and grass covered.
The applicant proposes to construct a 30 foot by 76.8 foot duplex structure on
the lots, near the center of the property. The structure will be located 39 feet back
from the front (east) property line and approximately 34 feet from the rear (west)
property line. The proposed structure will be located 10 feet back from the north
and south side property lines. The proposed duplex structure will be one (1) story
in height and will not exceed the maximum height allowance of 35 feet as per the
R-3 zoning district. All proposed setbacks and height will conform with Section
36-255 of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 15 foot wide driveway from S. Izard Street
to serve as access to the property. The applicant will construct a parking pad for
three (3) vehicles in the front yard area. Section 36-502 requires a minimum of
three (3) parking spaces for the proposed duplex structure. The parking as
proposed will be sufficient to serve the duplex use.
The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised
during staffs review of the application. To staff's knowledge, there are no
outstanding issues. The applicant is requesting no variances with the proposed
CUP.
Staff is supportive of the requested CUP to allow a duplex structure at 3004 S.
Izard Street. Staff views the request as reasonable. The duplex structure will not
be an increase in the original platted density for this property, as it is comprised of
two (2) platted lots. The proposed duplex structure will not be out of character with
the general area. R-4 zoned property, which allows duplexes by right, is located
one (1) block to the north and 1 '/z blocks to the east. Staff believes the proposed
duplex will have no adverse impact on the general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP, subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E, and the staff analysis,
of the agenda staff report.
