ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the removal of a detached
garage and to replace it with a 480 square foot accessory dwelling for a family member at
an R-3 zoned property at 222 Rosetta Street. The applicant notes that the accessory
dwelling will only be used by a family member, and that the structure will not be rented.
The exterior of the proposed accessory dwelling will be constructed to match the principle
structure. The construction will include wood siding and architectural shingles, with colors
similar to the principal structure.
The proposed accessory dwelling will occupy approximately 29.2 percent of the required
rear yard area (rear 25 feet of the site). According to Section 36-156 (a) (2) c. of the City's
Zoning Ordinance, accessory structures in the R-3 zoning district may occupy not more
than 30 percent of the required rear yard area_ If the applicant plans to add and additional
accessory structure within the required rear yard area in the future, a variance request for
increased rear yard coverage must be reviewed and approved by the City's Board of
Adjustment.
The property contains an existing two-story residential structure, with a detached garage
located at the northwest corner of the property. There is alley access to the rear of the
property on the western side, and a stone retaining wall / chain link fence which borders
the property line to the north. The property also features a 200 square foot brick patio
between the main structure and the ancillary structure. A parking pad for two vehicles is
located on the north side of the property.
The surrounding area are all single-family residences, which also have an R-3 zoning
classification.

minimum of two (2) parking spaces for the two (2) dwellings. The site conforms with this
requirement. Staff's condition regarding access to the property is they shall not access the
accessory dwelling unit from the alley to the west.
