STAFF REPORT

No Comments
B. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 3723 W. 98th Street is occupied by a non-
conforming mobile home park which has existed a number of years. The property
is located at the southwest corner of W. 98th Street and Hilaro Springs Road. The
property has a nonconforming status for a seven (7) space mobile home park.
Several driveways from W. 98th Street serve the mobile homes within the property.
Yajaira Martinez is the property owner and applicant.
The applicant recently removed one (1) of the mobile homes from the property and
constructed a one-story frame and stucco storage building on the property, as noted
on the attached site plan. The newly constructed accessory building is 30.25 feet
by 36.5 feet in area. The structure is located 37.88 feet to 42 feet back from the
front (north) property line and over 70 feet from the rear (south) property line. The
accessory structure is separated from the carport portion of the mobile home to the
west by 2.5 to 3.5 feet, and 8.3 feet from the mobile home to the east. The applicant
notes that the accessory structure will be used to store equipment used for the
maintenance of the overall mobile home park and for personal storage.
Section 36-156(a)(2)c. of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum front
setback of 60 feet for accessory structures in R-2 zoning. Section 36-156(a)(2)b.
MARCH 26, 2018
ITEM NO.: 5 (CON'T.) Z-9308
requires that accessory structures be separated from single family homes by at least
six (6) feet. Therefore, the applicant is requesting variances from these ordinance
standards to allow the accessory structure with a reduced front setback and
separation.
Staff is supportive of the requested front setback and separation variances. Staff
views the request as reasonable. The proposed accessory structure will maintain
approximately the same front setback as the mobile home structures within this
property. The accessory structure is located less than six (6) feet from the mobile
home immediately to the west. However, the reduced separation is between the
accessory structure and the unenclosed carport portion of the mobile home. The
accessory structure will be located over 20 feet from the enclosed portion of the
mobile home to the west. Staff believes the proposed accessory structure with
reduced front setback and separation have no adverse impact on the adjacent
properties or the general area.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested front setback and separation variances
associated with the accessory structure, subject to the accessory structure not being
utilized in conjunction with any business activity.
