B. Staff Anal sis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 2623 N. Grant Street is occupied by a single
family residence which is currently under construction. The property is located at
the southeast corner of N. Grant Street and "Y" Street. The new residence will have
a height of two (2) stories, with a hardy siding exterior. The residence conforms with
all building setback requirements.
As part of the project, the applicant proposes to construct 17 foot by 28 foot in -
ground pool near the southeast corner of the property. The pool will be four (4) feet
back from the rear (east) property line and six (6) feet back from the south side
property line. The pool will be separated from the residence (covered deck area) by
approximately four (4) feet. The applicant also proposes to construct a 16.66 foot
by 20.66 foot accessory garage structure near the northeast corner of the lot. The
garage will be located three (3) feet back from the rear (east) property line and 6.5

feet back from the north (street side) property line. The garage will be separated
from the house by 11.4 feet and the pool by eight (8) feet. A driveway from "Y" Street
will serve the garage structure. The proposed pool and garage structures will occupy
approximately 47 percent of the required rear yard area (rear 25 feet of the lot).
Section 36-156(a)(2)b. of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum
separation of six (6) feet between an accessory structure and a principal structure.
Section 36-156(a)(2)c. allows a maximum rear yard coverage of 30 percent of the
rear 25 feet of the lot for accessory structures. Section 36-156(a)(2)c. also requires
a minimum street side setback of 15 feet for accessory structures in R-2 zoning.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting variances from these ordinance requirements
to allow the accessory pool structure with a reduced separation from the principal
structure, the accessory garage structure with a reduced street side setback, and
the pool and garage structures with a combined increased rear yard coverage.
Staff is supportive of the requested separation, coverage and setback variances.
Staff views the request as reasonable. The proposed lot development will not be
out of character with many other lots throughout this neighborhood. The overall
massing of structures on this lot will be very similar to other properties in the area.
The proposed rear yard coverage is 47 percent. The Hillcrest Design Overlay
District, located a short distance to the south, allows a maximum rear yard coverage
of 40 percent. Additionally, the reduced separation for the pool will be to a covered
deck portion of the principal structure. Staff believes that the proposed pool and
garage accessory structures will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties
or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the separation, coverage and setback variances, as
filed.
