Special Use Permit – 875 3rd Avenue NW <br />Planning Commission Report; 9-18-18 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />(cont.)  Maximum Impervious Surface = 50% (39.4% proposed) <br /> Maximum Building Coverage = 30% (19.2% proposed) <br /> <br />Criteria Review: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Zoning Code Section 8-130 contains five standards the City must review prior to making <br />a decision on any specially permitted use. The applicant and staff analysis of these <br />standards is shown below: <br />1. 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 <br />welfare. <br />APPLICANT COMMENTS: There will be zero effect to the neighborhood. Garage <br />is out of site. Will help safety concerns. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. The location of the new <br />garage will bring the structure into conformity with required setbacks, and staff <br />review did not identify any dangers to the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or <br />welfare. <br />2. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other <br />property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor <br />substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. <br />APPLICANT COMMENTS: Replacing old garage will enhance values and it’s <br />behind the house not seen by public. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. Detached garages are an <br />expected accessory structure in residential districts, and investments in properties <br />such as this tend to improve rather than detract from area property values. <br />3. 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 <br />the district. <br />APPLICANT COMMENTS: Garage will meet setbacks and codes. Again <br />increasing value to all in the neighborhood. <br />STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met. As stated by the <br />applicant, the proposed garage will meet required setbacks, and will have no more <br />impact on surrounding development than a two car garage that could be built absent <br />an SUP. The fact that the property will also be conforming to impervious surface <br />and FAR maximums indicate the lot is of sufficient size to support the proposed <br />improvement. <br /> <br />
