FILE NO.: Z-7712 Utility Comments were presented. There were no other comments. The applicants were advised to respond to staff issues by August 25, 2004. The Committee forwarded the item to the full Commission. STAFF ANALYSIS: The R-2 zoned, 3.61 acre tract at 19305 Kanis Road is currently occupied by one, site -built single family residence. A single -wide mobile home which was also on the tract has been removed, but the utility hook-ups remain. The property is outside of the city limits but within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction. The applicants are requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow placement of a 28'X 80' (maximum) multisectional manufactured home on the property as an accessory dwelling. The applicants will occupy the accessory dwelling and help care for elderly parents who occupy the principal dwelling. The proposed manufactured home will be a newer model (2,000+) and will have a pitched shingled roof and vinyl siding. The property is located 300± feet off of Kanis Road and is accessed via a gravel driveway. The property is bordered by dense trees and vegetation, providing screening from other properties. Staff is supportive of the requested Conditional Use Permit. The 3.61 acre tract is large enough to support both the existing residence and the proposed manufactured home. It is not unusual to find manufactured homes on properties in this unincorporated area. The home will be placed to comply with Ordinance Siting Standards. The utility connections are already in place since the site was previously occupied by a mobile home. The property is not covered by a valid bill of assurance. At some point in the future, the applicants will occupy the principal dwelling. The manufactured home accessory dwelling will remain on the site to be occupied only by family members or guests of the property owners. The accessory dwelling will not be rented. On August 24, 2004, the applicants submitted responses to staff issues raised at Subdivision Committee and reflected in the analysis above.
