Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br />could conform with the first requirement as it would be associated with a principal structure. <br />Subject Property C will then follow zoning code requirements for accessory structures. However, <br />the proposal does not remediate the nonconforming location of the structure on Subject Property <br />B as the accessory structure would be closer to the front lot line, which would be the north lot line <br />under the proposal, than the front building line of the principal structure. <br /> <br />Additionally, Subject Property B already has four existing accessory structures, two sheds, a <br />gazebo, and a pool with an approximate total of 1,356 square feet. Staff reviewed City records and <br />could not find building permit applications or staff reviews on file for the gazebo or pool, both of <br />which would have triggered the requirement for a building permit. Similarly, there is not a record <br />for a building permit associated with the detached garage on Subject Property C. In addition to the <br />requirements for accessory structures noted for Subject Property C and its associated accessory <br />structure, the accessory structures on Subject Property B are evaluated by the provisions that <br />residential uses are permitted no more than two (2) accessory structures and accessory structures <br />shall not exceed seven hundred and twenty-eight (728) square feet in floor area. Another provision <br />is that under no circumstances shall accessory structures associated with a residential use in the R- <br />1 district exceed one thousand four hundred and fifty-eight (1,458) square feet without an approved <br />variance. <br /> <br />The existing accessory structures on Subject Property B do not comply with the code provisions <br />for number of accessory structures and total floor area for accessory structures. These accessory <br />structures also do not comply with the location requirement for accessory structures, as all four are <br />located within the principal structure’s front yard as measured to the south property line, the front <br />lot line for the existing Subject Property B. <br /> <br />The designation of the north property line as the front lot line as part of the proposal would resolve <br />the nonconforming location of the accessory structures. However, the proposal would increase the <br />nonconformities of number of accessory structures and accessory structure floor area. The lot line <br />adjustment would result in five accessory structures on Subject Property B for a total of 2,136 <br />square feet of accessory structures. <br /> <br />Table 4. Accessory Structures on Subject Properties C and B <br />Existing Subject <br />Property C <br />Existing Subject Property B Proposed Subject Property B <br />Accessory Structure – <br />780 sf <br />Gazebo (front yard) – 400 sf Gazebo (rear yard) – 400 sf <br /> Two Sheds (front yard)– 156 <br />sf <br />Two Sheds (rear yard) – 156 sf <br /> Pool (front yard) – 800 sf Pool (rear yard) – 800 sf <br /> <br /> Accessory Structure (front yard) – <br />780 sf <br />Existing total – 780 <br />square feet <br />Existing total - 1,356 square <br />feet <br />Proposed total - 2,136 square <br />feet <br /> <br />The proposal will not bring Subject Property B into full conformance with requirements for <br />accessory structures and the property would be less complaint with requirements for the permitted <br />number of accessory structures and the maximum floor area permitted for accessory structures. <br />The request will therefore require a variance to allow for Subject Property B to exceed the <br />permitted number of accessory structures and the permitted square footage of detached structures
