3.0 PROJECT REVIEW 3.1 Mr. Prokop has indicated an interest in completing interior remodeling and constructing a detached garage, but does not intend to change the use of the five-unit structure. 3.2 The following R-3A District requirements would apply to the site: Requirements City Code Existine: Condition Variance Lot Width 85 feet 110 feet None Lot Depth 100 feet 148 feet None Lot Size Per Unit 2,000 - 2,800 Sq. ft./unit 16,280 Sq. ft./3,256 sq. ft per unit None Building Height Three stories or 30 feet Two stories None Front Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet None Rear Yard Setback 30 feet 52 feet None Side Yard Setback (south) 15 feet 7 feet 9 feet Side Yard Setback (north) 15 feet 35 feet None 4.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS 4.1 Staff has determined that rezoning the property to a zoning designation consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is necessary to appropriately deal with the pre-existing non- conforming use issue. 4.2 Through review ofthe Zoning Ordinance, staff has determined that the zoning designation that best suits the property and its current use as a multiple family residential structure (five rental units) is the R-3A zone. 4.3 Because of the change in zoning from R-2 to R-3A, staff has concluded that a nine-foot variance to the side yard setback (existing condition) for the south side of the principal structure is necessary. 4.4 A non-conforming use can continued but is subject to applicable State Statutes and City Ordinance regarding alterations, repair after damage, discontinuance of use, and intensification of use. 4.5 Given the nature of the variance, being a direct result of the rezoning, staff has determined that hardships are present specifically related to the zoning change, the structure's age and placement on property. 4.6 Granting ofthe variance and rezoning will bring the structure into conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. 5.0 POLICY & FISCAL IMPLICATIONS PF3305 - RPCA 050901 Page 2 of3
