in-laws quarters but in the future may be converted to a rental unit. The site is
located outside the City Limits but within the City's Extraterritorial Planning

proposed placement of the second unit on the site is being reviewed per Section
31-13 Subdivision/multiple building site plan review. The review is a
development review process for case -by -case consideration of project particulars
including the provision of parking and landscaping in accordance with ';the
appropriate ordinances, sitting of buildings and the relationships with adjoining
properties. The site plan indicates the placement of the second home in a
manner that does not appear to impact the adjoining properties.
To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the
proposed site plan review, as the applicant has done an adequate job in
addressing any potential issues. The proposed placement of the second home
should have no adverse impact on the general area.
