HomeMy WebLinkAboutZ-8903 Staff AnalysisDecember 12, 2013 ITEM NO.: 9 FILE NO.: Z-8903 NAME: Huerta Multisectional Manufactured Homes (4) Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 19529 Vickie Lane OWNER/APPLICANT: Felipa HuertaM/hite-Daters & Associates PROPOSAL: A conditional use permit is requested to allow for placement of a multisectional manufactured home on each of these four (4) lots. On November 14, 2013, the Commission approved a preliminary plat to create a four -lot subdivision (Huerta Addition, File No.: S- 1716). 2 SITE LOCATION: The site is located outside the City Limits, near the western edge of the City's planning jurisdiction. Access to the property is via Vickie Lane, off of Beauchamp Road. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The general area is rural in nature, containing large areas of wooded, undeveloped properties and a variety of residential homes on various sized properties. There appear to be as many single -wide and multisectional manufactured homes and mobile homes in the area as site - built homes. The nearby PD-C zoned property was zoned such to recognize a variety of commercial uses when the City's zoning jurisdiction expanded in 2002. The proposed use appears to be compatible with uses in the area. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the SWLRUP Neighborhood Association. There is no City -registered neighborhood association in the area. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: A private drive off of Vickie Lane will provide access to the four lots. Each lot will have a driveway off of the private drive. Each dwelling is required to have one parking space. The plan shows driveways and parking more than sufficient to meet each lot's requirement.
