60 their property values (again, violating this criterion); staff believes that the proposed 61 ADU in this location would not have a noticeable effect on the value nearby property. 62 5.2 REVIEW OF SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA: Section 1009.02D Of the City Code 63 establishes additional standards and criteria that are specific to ADUs. This section of the 64 ordinance includes several such requirements, but the applicable ones are as follows. 65 a. An ADUshall be located on a lot occupied by a one family dwelling. The proposal 66 would meet this requirement because the principal use on the property is aone- family 67 dwelling. 68 b. No more than one ADUshall be allowed on a lot. This requirement will be satisfied 69 as long as additional units are not approved or created in the future. 70 C. The one family dwelling on the lot shall be owner- occupied. Compliance with this 71 requirement will be verified as part of the required, annual registration of rental units 72 while the ADU is to be rented. 73 d. Maximum size of the ADU shall not exceed 600 square feet of living area. The 74 proposed ADU would have a gross area of approximately 575 square feet at the 75 outside dimensions of the space, with the living area (subtracting out the closet and 76 storage areas) probably being closer to 500 square feet. 77 e. The ADU shall have setbacks that meet the setback requirements for principal 78 structures on the property. The proposed ADU is within the principal structure, above 79 the existing attached garage. Since the living area is not proposed to be expanded 80 beyond its current limits, the proposal will satisfy this requirement. 81 5.3 Roseville's Development Review Committee, a body comprising staff from various City 82 departments, met on March 17, 2011 to discuss the application. The only concern was 83 that the ADU be given a unique address so that emergency responders know more 84 precisely where they're needed if called to the property by renter - occupants; rather than 85 recommending a unique address identifier as a condition of the approval, this concern 86 will be addressed in the form of a zoning text amendment to require a unique address for 87 all ADUs whenever they're being rented. 88 5.4 Review of the proposed ADU against the CONDITIONAL USE standards and criteria leads 89 Planning Division staff to conclude that the use can meet all of the applicable 90 requirements. Some of the requirements (e.g., owner - occupancy of the principal dwelling 91 if the ADU is occupied as a separate unit, compliance with heightened building code 92 requirements, etc.) will necessitate ongoing verification, but staff finds that adequate 93 provisions already exist in the City Code and that an approval of the CONDITIONAL USE 94 need not include specific conditions pertaining to compliance. 95 5.5 Section 1009.02E of the City Code requires the applicant to validate an approval of the 96 CONDITIONAL USE by beginning construction of the proposed improvements related to the 97 ADU. If the approval has not been validated within one year, the approval will expire and 98 become void. 99 6.0 PUBLIC COMMENT PF 11 -007 RCA 041811 Page 3 of 4
