Special Use Permit – 821 7th Ave NW City Council Report; 5-28-2019 Page 4 Special Use Permit Review In General:  The need for a Special Use Permit is triggered by the size of the garage. All accessory structures in a residential zone in excess of 624 square feet require approval of a special use permit. Measurements:  Provided an SUP is approved for the proposed building size, construction as proposed would eliminate the existing legal nonconforming building in favor a new garage meeting all setback requirements.
