• • 6.0 REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL US� PERMIT CRITERIA 6.1 Section 1013.01 (Conditional Use Pei°mits) of the City Code rec�uires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CUP application: a Impact on traffic; b Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; c Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; d Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; e Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and f Compatility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6.2 Impact on traffic: The Planning Division has determined that an increase in traffic volume, due to the size of the proposed 960-square-foot accessory structure on the property, is unlikely. 6.3 Impact on parks, streets and other public facilities: The Planning Division has determined that it is equally unlikely that the construction of the proposed detached garage will have an adverse impact on the City's parks, streets, and/or other facilities. 6.4 Compatibility ... with contiguous properties: Adjacent parcels have existing accessory structures ranging from approximately 475 square feet to about 650 square feet, but there does not appear to be a nearby accessory building equal in size to the current proposal; the rear of the property is, however, adjacent to the Villa Park Condominiums. Despite this larger building, the site plan and internal traffic circulation would remain unchanged. The proposed detached garage would still be about 45 feet from the adjacent property line to the north. 6.5 Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties: An accessory structure up to 864 square feet is permitted by the City Code without the approval of the Planning Commission or City Council. Although the current proposal seeks to exceed this permitted size by nearly 100 square feet, the Planning Division has determined that the prevalence of mature trees on the property and the use of exterior building materials that will be consistent with that of the principal structure will ensure that the use will not have an adverse impact on the market value of contiguous properties. 6.6 Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare: The Planning Division believes that the proposed accessory building will have no impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare. 6.7 Compatility with the City's Comprehensive Plan: An accessory structure is a permitted use (and the proposed accessory building is a conditionally permitted use) in the R-1 Single-Family Residence District and is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Low-Density Residential. 7.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: PF07-029 RPCA 071106 Page 3 of 4
