The property is comprised of 1.04 acres and is located at the approximate southwest corner of Pam Road and Alexander Road. The property is mostly undeveloped with a garage storage building at the south perimeter of the lot. The applicant proposes to locate a 16 foot by 76-foot double wide manufactured home at an extended portion of the lot at the northeast adjacent to Pam Road. The proposed home will be located 60 feet back from the front (northern) property line and over 300 feet from the rear (southern) property line. The house will be located 18 feet (12 feet from stems/landing) from the western side property line and November 18, 2021 ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9625 4 26 feet (16 feet from deck) from the eastern side property line. The proposed home will comply with all ordinance required setbacks. The proposed setbacks leave ample space for decks, porches, steps, etc. Access to the property will be via a driveway from Pam Road. A parking pad will be located on the north side of the proposed residence. The proposed manufactured home must comply with the following minimum siting standards as per Section 36-254 (d) (5) of the City's Zoning Ordinance: a. A pitched roof of three (3) in twelve (12) or fourteen (14) degrees or greater. b. Removal of all transport elements. c. Permanent foundation. d. Exterior wall finished so as to be compatible with the neighborhood. e. Orientation compatible with placement of adjacent structures. f. Underpinning with permanent materials. g. All homes shall be multisectional. h. Off-street parking per single-family dwelling standard. The granting of the CUP is based on the condition that the property be occupied by a family member of the property owner who resides at 13510 Alexander Road. The use of the new manufactured home is limited to the use of a family member as listed on the submission application and shall not be allowed to be utilized as rental property. If the property is ever sold, the manufactured home must be occupied by the new property owner or a family member of the new property owner. The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised during staff's 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 conditional use permit to allow a multi-sectional manufactured home at 1 Pam Road. Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposed manufactured home will not be out of character with other single family residential structures in this general area. Most of the homes in the immediate area are one-story structures which were constructed 50 years or more ago. Staff believes the proposed manufactured home will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties or the general area. November 18, 2021 ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9625 5 I.

Compliance with the manufactured home minimum siting standards as noted in Section 36-254 (d) (5) of the code. 3.
