108 if the AD U is occupied as a separate unit, compliance with heightened building code 109 requirements,, etc.) will necessitate ongoing verification, but staff finds that adequate 110 provisions already exist in the City Code and that an approval of the CONDITIONAL USE ill need not include specifi c conditions pertaining to compliance. 112 5.5 Section 1009.02E of the City Code requires the applicant to validate an approval of the 11 CONDITIONAL USE by beginning construction of the proposed improvements related to the 11 ADU. If the approval has not been validated within one year, the approval will expire and 115 become void. 116 6.0 PUBLIC COMMENT 6.1 Planning Division staff received a few phone calls from nearby property owners prior to 118 the public hearing; - In each of these cases, people were interested in what an AD U is and 119 how it would be regulated, but nobody expressed concern with approving the proposal. 120 During the duly-noticed public hearing, held by the Planning Commission on March 2, 121 011, one member of the audience had several questions and concerns about the 122 proposal; the draft minutes of the public hearing are included with this staff report as 123 Attachment D,, but some of the issues pertinent to the consideration of the CONDITIONAL 1214, USE will be discussed below. 125 6.2 Given that the subject ADU be of a nonconforming size as discussed in Section 5.2d 126 above), and would contain two bedrooms, the question was raised as to how many renters 12 7' would be allowed to occupy the space. The ADU ordinances in the Zoning Code require 128 smaller units which, because of their size,, would effectively limit the number of 129 occupants to one or two, but Planning Division staff did not account for the potential for 1'30 larger existing spaces to be used as in this case. Although an approval of the proposed 1'31 ADU could include a condition related to a maximum number of occupants, but staff 1'32 recommends establishing this limit within the zoning ordinance and proposes to bring such an amendment forward in the near future. l'N34 7.0 RECOMMENDATION 1'35 Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of this report, the 1'36 Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed CONDITIONAL USE pursuant to 1 N3 ".1 ............ 7' § 1004.07 and § 1009.02 of the Roseville City Code. SUGGESTED ACTION 1'39 Adopt a resolution approving the proposed accessory dwelling unit as a 14 0 CONDITIONAL USE at 2478 Hamline Avenue,, based on the comments and findings of 14 1 Sections 4-6 and the recommendation of Section 7 of this staff report.
