7. Staff Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to
use an existing, 590 square foot one-story block
accessory structure as an accessory dwelling. No
expansion of the structure is proposed. In the past
this structure has been used for a hobby shop, storage,
and office. Most utilities are already hooked up
coming from the primary house. Water and sewer would
be added. No separate meters will be installed.
The applicant intends to use the accessory dwelling on
an occasional basis for visiting relatives and for
someone to watch the house when the owner is out of
town.
Staff believes this is a reasonable use of this
structure and is compatible with development in the
area.
8. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional
use permit.
