SPECIAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS <br />Zoning Code Section 4-530 (K) states that accessory buildings exceeding 624 square feet in size <br />shall be subject to approval of a Special use Permit under Section 8-110 through 8-130 and <br />subject to compliance with the following conditions (staff responses in italics): • <br />1. Roof and exterior color and material must be consistent and complimentary with the <br />principal structure. <br />Staff finds this criterion to be met. The applicant has stated in the attached narrative <br />and on the exterior elevations that the proposed addition with match the existing <br />home. <br />2. If deemed necessary by the City Council, landscape screening shall be provided to <br />lessen visual impact from adjacent properties. <br />Staff has not received any comments from adjacent properties and has no reason to <br />recommend requiring any landscape screening. Being the garage is deep rather than <br />wide, no expansion of the existing driveway is necessary and the curb cut at 14`h ST <br />NW is compliant at 22' where 24' is allowed. <br />3. No commercial or home occupation activity shall be conducted within the accessory <br />building. <br />The applicant has been informed of this standard and has indicated compliance will <br />be met. <br />In addition to the standards noted in Section 4-530 (K), Section 8-130 states that no special use <br />shall be recommended by the Planning Commission unless is shall find (staff responses in <br />italics): <br />a. That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be <br />detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort of the general <br />public. <br />Staff finds this criterion to be met. As of the drafting of this report, staff has not <br />received any comments to this proposal. Additionally, because the garage is an extra <br />stall deep rather than wide, the appearance from the road is minimal and will still <br />appear as a two -stall garage. <br />b. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property <br />in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially <br />diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. <br />Staff finds this criterion to be met as the additional 16' of depth on the garage will <br />not negatively impact use or enjoyment of property in the immediate vicinity as there <br />is adequate space on the lot. <br />C. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly <br />development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the <br />district. 0 <br />
