ervi{{e STAFF REPORT DATE: February 5, 2002 TO: Planning Commission Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator 0N-'1 FROM: RE: Infonnation on Conditional Use Permits ............................................................................ BACKGROUND In November, the Planning Commission was hearing from residences regarding sheds that had been constructed too close the their primary structure. In one situation, a resident reported that the shed had collapsed and he rebuilt it in the same spot, not realizing that it had been grandfuthered in and needed to be moved away from the house. In the other situation, the homeowner added on to the primary structure, bringing it closer to the accessory building. During discussion with the Commission about these two situations, Staff asked if a conditional use permit could be granted, listing the conditions that would allow for the continued existence of the shed, but if it is destroyed 50% or more, the use is discontinued and not allowed to be rebuilt. The Commission asked Staff to provide additional infonnation. . Attached is a copy of the zoning chapter from the City of St. Anthony's City Code, whereby the City outlines permitted conditional uses in each of the zoning districts. During the consideration of a conditional use permit, the Planning and Zoning Commission would review the application, the proposed use and the regulations regarding conditional uses. If the application was approved, conditions would be listed in the findings of fuets and the petitioner was required to abide by the conditions or loose the use 0 f the structure. RECOMMENDATION Consider implementing Conditional Use Permits for certain requests, based on a case-by- case situation.
