Dunn Accessory Dwelling -
Conditional Use Permit
7312 Missouri Avenue
Valerie Dunn
A conditional use permit is
requested to allow the conversion
of an existing 440 square foot pool
house into an accessory dwelling.
The property is zoned R-2.
The property is located on the north side of Missouri
Avenue, 1 1/2 blocks east of Mississippi Avenue.
2. Compatibility with Neighborhood
This property is located on the northern edge of a large,
single-family residential neighborhood. Bordering the
neighborhood, on the north, is an area of multifamily
development including duplexes, condominiums and apartments.
The proposed 440 square foot accessory dwelling is located
at the rear of this lot and is well separated from the
nearest single-family dwelling. The accessory dwelling
should be compatible with the neighborhood.
3. On ---Site Drives and Parkin
The principal dwelling and the proposed accessory dwelling
require one on -site parking space each. The site contains a
driveway which allows for the stacking of two vehicles, one
behind the other. The applicant proposes to use this
relationship rather than add paving to the site by widening
the driveway.
4. Screening and Buffers
No additional screening or buffering is required for this
single-family zoned property.

7. Ana—? s
The applicant proposes to convert an existing 440 square
foot study/poolhouse into an accessory dwelling. The
applicant's stated intent is to allow her daughter to use
the dwelling for the present time and in the event it is
necessary, make it available to her mother-in-law. In the
R-2 district, it is required that the landowner occupy one
of the dwellings. No limitation is placed on the occupancy
of the second unit.
The proposed accessory dwelling meets all ordinance
standards for area and setbacks. It should not have a
negative impact on any adjacent properties and staff is
supportive of the request.
