The property comprises a 4.22 acre tract and is located within the City’s Extra-Territorial Zoning Jurisdiction (ETJ). The applicant proposes not to construct a garage at this time, however plans to build one the property in the future. The applicant has cited a 36’ x 60’ foot double-wide manufactured home in the southern portion of the property. Access to the lot is from Elvin Road just west of Dent Road. The manufactured home will be located approximately 280 feet from the front (north) property line. There is ample setback from the rear (south) and along both side property lines. The existing manufactured home complies with all ordinance required setbacks and provides ample room for decks, porches, steps etc. The applicant notes that the proposed garage will be 26’ x 40’ foot and approximately 220 feet from the front property line, approximately 135 feet from both side property lines and will have a separation of 19 feet from the manufactured home. The existing manufactured home must comply with the following minimum siting standards as per Section 36-254(d)(5) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance: A pitched roof of three (3) in twelve (12) or fourteen (14) degrees or greater.

The applicant is requesting no variances at this time. Staff is supportive of the requested conditional use permit to allow the continued use of the manufactured home located at 17607 Elvin Road. Staff views the request is reasonable. Staff does not feel that the existing location of the manufactured home will be out of character within the overall area. There is a single-wide manufactured home located at 17704 Elvin Road two lots to the east, another single-wide manufactured home to the west at 17523 Elvin Road with additional single-wide manufactured homes existing to the east. Staff feels that the recently placed manufactured home will have no adverse impact on the general area.
