Road, west of I-430, approximately 0.9 mile outside the
city limits, but within the city's extraterritorial
zoning jurisdiction.

tracts of undeveloped wooded land and farms, with some
single family residences in the area. Immediately to

7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
locate a single family accessory dwelling on this R-2
zoned property for the sole use of the applicant's
mother. The land is approximately 6.5 acres, and
therefore, an additional house will not cause any
crowding on this property. There are no setback
issues. The proposed accessory dwelling was relocated
to this site from Bowman Road where it was removed to
make way for a future commercial development.
This is a single story house with approximately 2,670
square feet of space. Due to an ordinance limit of 700
square feet of floor space for an accessory dwelling, a
variance is necessary to permit this size dwelling.
Staff believes the proposed additional dwelling is a
reasonable use of this property and will be compatible
with current and future development in the area.
8. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional
use permit.
Staff also recommends approval of the variance to
exceed the 700 square feet floor space maximum for an
accessory dwelling.
