The proposed building size.should not impact the use of neighboring properties. A condition could be to locate the structure further from the north property line; if there are concerns with placing the structure only 15 feet away;.as well as to require a grading plan be reviewed by the.city during the building permit process. 2] Air and Water Quality The building of an accessory structure should not impact air or water quality. 3) Traffic Generations: A detached accessory structure would not generate new traffic in... the area. 4) Public Safety and Health The proposed project should not have impactson the. safety or health of the public, .provided the structure is built to code and adheres to conditions placed on this CUP. 5) Area Aesthetics The size, while larger than that of typical accessory structures in the. neighborhood,. may not be verynoticeable from the road due to the placement of the. structure.deep in the lot. The structure. would stand out -compared to structures on neighboring properties to the north and south, .though. the neighboring lotto the. north also has a large detached structure in their rear yard. This proposed structure would provide additional storage on the property, which could reduce the need to. store items outdoors on the property, and could lead to removing the. existing 308 SF shed off the property. The city could. add conditions limiting the size, .add screening, or shifting the. location, if there is concerns with impacts to the aesthetics of the area..
