SITE LOCATION: FILE NO.: Z-9437 Melvin Accessory Dwelling — Conditional Use Permit 601 East 16th Street Jack Melvin, Owner/ D. Jillean Fogelman, Authorized Agent A conditional use permit is requested to allow for construction of an accessory dwelling on this R-4 zoned lot. The property is located on the southeast corner of East 16' Street and Park Lane. 2. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is located in an R-4 Two -Family residential zoned neighborhood. Most of the properties in the immediate vicinity are occupied by single-family and two-family dwellings. Two churches are located to the west and an elementary school campus is located one block to the east. The proposal to add an accessory dwelling, thus having two -dwellings on this R-4 zoned lot, is compatible with uses and zoning in the neighborhood. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and The Pettaway and MacArthur Park Neighborhood Associations. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: The existing single family residence and proposed accessory dwelling each require one on -site parking space. The property contains a two -car garage which technically fulfills the requirement of providing two -parking spaces. It is more likely that the occupants of the accessory dwelling, which is proposed to be a rental unit, will park on the street. Both East 16 and Park Lane are improved and wide enough to allow on -street parking. In staff's visits to the site, there appeared to be plenty of available on -street parking adjacent to the site. 4. SCREENING AND BUFFERS: No comments. August 1, 2019 ITEM NO.: 9 (Cont. 5.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JULY 10, 2019) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted little additional information was needed. There was a discussion regarding where parking for the accessory dwelling would occur. That issue was left unresolved. In response to a question from the applicant, staff explained the requirement for a radial dedication of right-of-way. August 1, 2019 ITEM NO.: 9 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9437 The comments from the other departments and reviewing agencies were noted. The committee determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full Commission. "LIT29"TA ►FTIMMM The R-4, Two -Family Residential, zoned property at 601 East 16t" Street is occupied by a single family residence and a detached two -car garage. The applicants are requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for construction of an accessory dwelling near the rear of the lot. The proposed new accessory dwelling will be used as long-term rental. The proposed one-story accessory dwelling measures 16 feet by 25 feet two inches. It will contain a bedroom, bath and combined living/kitchen area. The structure will have a horizontal siding exterior and a 10/12 pitched, shingled roof. The structure will have a rear yard setback of 8 feet, a south side yard setback of 13.1 feet and a street side yard setback of 10.3 feet. Section 36-156 (2) c of the Code requires accessory buildings in the R-4 District to have a street side yard setback of no less than 15 feet. Staff is supportive of allowing the reduced setback as it lines up with the existing garage. Separate utilities are requested. A total of two on -site parking spaces are required; one for the principal dwelling and one for the accessory dwelling. The site contains a two -car garage that technically meets the requirement. It is likely however that the residents of the rental accessory dwelling will park on the street. There is sufficient available on -street parking space available adjacent to this site. Staff is supportive of the concept and proposed use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the CUP to allow an accessory dwelling subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in Sections 4, 5 and 6 and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. Staff recommends approval of the reduced street side yard setback of 10.3 feet. 3 August 1, 2019 EM NO.: 9 (Cont.)
