No commercial or home occupation activity shall be conducted within the accessory <br />building. <br />7. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal in accordance with the following Special <br />Use Permit conditions of Zoning Code Section 8-130: <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 or general welfare. <br />b. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in <br />the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and <br />impair property values within the neighborhood. <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. <br />d. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are <br />being provided. <br />e. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the <br />district in which it is located. <br />8. The Planning Commission found all Special Use Permit criteria of Sections 4-530 and Section <br />8-130 to be met, based on the following findings: <br /> a. The garage will be less than 1,064 SF. <br />b. The total of all accessory buildings and attached garages on the property will be less than <br />1,664 SF. <br />c. The applicant will construct the garage with materials that will match/compliment the <br />existing home. <br />d. The applicant will not use the proposed garage for any commercial or home occupation <br />activity. <br />9. The existing front yard setback adjacent to ROCKSTONE LANE is 28.9' when 30’ is <br />normally required, constituting a nonconformity and requiring a Nonconforming Use Permit. <br />10. The Planning Commission considered the Nonconforming Use Permit in accordance with the <br />following criteria of Section 8-460 (2): <br />a. The total number of nonconformities is reduced. <br />b. The impact of any nonconformity upon adjacent premises is reduced to the greatest <br />practical extent. <br />c. The extent of any nonconformity is reduced where practical. <br />11. The Planning Commission determined the criteria of Section 8-460 were met based on the <br />following findings: <br />d. The nonconformities related to the house couldn’t be practically reduced or eliminated <br />without removing the principal structure. <br />e. The existing home’s footprint would not be expanded upon. <br />f. With removal of the two front yard sheds, the overall number of nonconformities will be <br />reduced. <br />g. The impact of the nonconformities upon adjacent premises is reduced to the greatest <br />practical extent. <br />h. Historically, the Planning Commission has been supportive of similar requests when <br />proposed improvements are reasonable.
