6.5 The land area of the subject property is approximately 17,000 square feet; � 1017.26B 1 (Impervious Coverage in Shoreland Management Districts) of the City Code permits up to 4,250 square feet of impervious coverage on a lot this size located within 300 feet of Langton Lake. If the proposed garage were constructed, impervious coverage on the property might exceed the 25% maximum; the excess can be eliminated by removing some existing pavement or it can be accommodated through the Administrative Deviation process, so a vAx�ANCE for impervious coverage is neither requested nor recommended. 6.6 All of the above Code requirements work together to allow the proposed structure, but this one building will utilize the maximum extent of such allowances and preclude the construction of any other accessory buildings on the property. 6.7 REVIEW OF STANDARD CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA a. Section 1013.01 (Conditional Uses) of the City Code requires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CONDITIONAL USE application: i. Impact on traffic; ii. Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; iii. Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; iv. Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; v. Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and vi. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. b. Impact on traffic: The Planning Division has determined that an increase in traffic volume, due to the size of the proposed 1,008-square-foot accessory structure on the property, will not be an issue given that the building will be used to meet the daily and seasonal storage needs of a residential property owner and thus will not be creating a destination for commercial or additional residential traffic. c. Impact on parks, streets and other public faciliNes: The Planning Division has determined that the proposed accessory structure is unrelated to the City's parks, streets, and other facilities, and so will not have an adverse impact on them. d. Compatibility ... with contiguous properties: The proposed accessory structure would not change the circulation on the property since it is essentially replacing the previous garage; a site plan is included with this staff report as Attachment D. Of the 5 contiguous properties, only two others appear to have accessory structures, one of which is about 600 square feet and the other seems to approach the 864-square-foot limit; other detached buildings in the area, however, range from small garden sheds to larger accessory structures, including one that is nearly 1,100 square feet. Although the proposed building is larger than those found on the contiguous properties and would not be screened from the neighbor to the north, the larger building would allow some of what has been stored outside on the property to be located inside the new structure, reducing the perception of clutter. e. Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties: Although the current proposal seeks coND�T�oNaL UsE approval to build the largest accessory structure allowed on a single-family residential property, the Planning Division has PF09-033 RPCA 110409 Page 4 of 6 �� • •
