H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow an existing accessory
structure to be utilized as an accessory dwelling, on the R-2 zoned property located
at 2220 N. Arthur Street. The property is comprised of one (1) lot; Lot 6, Block 6,
Altheimer's Addition.
The property is occupied by a one-story brick and frame single family residence
(1,472 square feet). A concrete driveway is located at the northeast corner of the
lot, and leads to a carport at the northeast corner of the residence. The driveway
will allow for the parking of two (2) vehicles. A paved alley is located along the
rear (west) property line.
A one-story accessory structure is located within the rear yard area, at the
northwest corner of the lot. The accessory structure is approximately 540 square
feet in area. A parking pad for two (2) vehicles is located on the south side of the
accessory structure, and is accessed from the alley.
The applicant proposes to use the accessory structure as an accessory dwelling.
Both the accessory dwelling and the principal dwelling will be rental units. The
accessory structure has a history of being used as an accessory dwelling off and
on for many years in the past. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit
to legitimize the past use of the accessory structure. The applicant notes that there
will be no additions or changes to the accessory structure.
Section 36-252 (a) (3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires the following with
respect to accessory dwellings:
"(3) In the R-2 and R-3 districts, one (1) of the dwelling units must
be occupied by the landowner."
The applicant is requesting a variance from this requirement as neither dwelling
will be occupied by the landowner. The landowner resides approximately five (5)
minutes away. Staff supports the variance request.
As noted above, there is parking for four (4) vehicles on the site. Section 36-502
requires a minimum of two (2) parking spaces for the two (2) dwellings. The site
conforms with this requirement.
The applicant provided responses and additional information to all issues raised
during staffs review of the application. To staffs knowledge, there are no
outstanding issues.
