ANALYSIS: The applicant requests a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of two (2) duplexes on two (2) R-3 zoned lots. The property is located at the northwest corner of Cobb Street and W. 43rd Street. The property is occupied by a one-story single family residence which will be removed as part of the proposed construction. A one-car wide driveway from W. 43rd Street serves as access to the property. Each proposed duplex structure will be approximately 2,646 square feet in area, with a building height of one (1) story. The proposed buildings will have a brick exterior. Each duplex unit will have 1,285 square feet of heated and cooled area. The individual units will have three (3) bedrooms and two (2) bathrooms. The duplex structures will be set back 25.7 feet from the front (south) property lines, 7.5 to 8.1 feet from the side property lines and eight (8) feet from the rear (north) property lines. Section 36-255 (d) (3) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear setback of 25 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the duplex structures with reduced rear setbacks, as the lots are only approximately 86 feet deep. Staff supports the deferral request. Parking for the proposed duplex structures will be in the front yard areas, with access from W. 43rd Street. There will be three (3) parking spaces on each lot. Section 36-502 (b) (1) c. requires a minimum of three (3) parking spaces for a duplex structure. The proposed parking conforms with ordinance standards. Staff is in support of the requested conditional use permit. The applicant is requesting one (1) relatively minor variance with the proposal. The proposed reduced rear building setbacks should have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties, as the rear setbacks have a side yard relation with the property immediately to the north. Staff believes that the request is reasonable, and that the proposed duplexes are appropriate for this location. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraph E., and the staff analysis, in the agenda staff report.
