7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
build an accessory dwelling on this R-2 zoned property
to be used for a pool house and occasional guest house.
It will be located in the back corner of this large lot
and will not be visible from the street. Therefore,
the additional dwelling will not cause crowding on the
property. There are no setback issues.
The structure is one-story, 1,104 square feet, with an
unfinished storage area underneath. Since there is 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 proposal is a reasonable use of this
property and will not have any adverse affect on 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.
