4.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 4.1 Robert Lichtscheidl, 2550 Western Avenue, has requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the construction ofa 1,008 square foot detached accessory building in the rear yard of his premises. The proposed structure would replace an existing detached garage that is approximately 700 square feet in size. 4.2 Section 1004.01A4 of the City Code describes the criteria which must be used to evaluate a CUP. They are as follows: · Impact on traffic. · Impact on parks, streets and other public facilities. · Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping and structures with contiguous properties. · Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties. · Impact on the general public health, safety and welfare. · Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 4.3 The CUP process also allows the City to impose those conditions it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 4.4 The Lichtscheidl property has a zoning of Single Family Residence (R-1) and a Comprehensive Plan designation of Low Density Residential (LD). 4.5 The Lichtscheidl parcel is large for a residential lot at 37,634 square feet (l00 feet wide by 376 feet deep or 0.86 acres). Residential lots located to the north and west are of a similar size, while the lots located to the south and southwest are of a more standard residential variety (85 to 100 feet wide by 110 to 130 feet deep). 4.6 The Lichtscheidl principal structure (home) is ofa similar size to the homes constructed to the west and east and of the same era (early to mid 1960's). However, the homes constructed to the south and southeast, having been constructed in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's, are slightly larger. The footprint size of the Lichtscheid1 home is 1,060 square feet in size. 4.7 The proposed structure will be constructed with a wall height of eight feet; a gable roof with a 4/12 pitch truss; similar asphalt shingles to that of the home; similar vinyl lap siding to that of the home; and a steel or aluminum soffit/fascia. 5.0 STAFF FINDINGS: 5.1 Section 1004.01A3 (Detached Accessory Building Size) limits the Lichtscheidl parcel to a rear yard allowance of 1,200 square feet. However, the Code restricts an accessory building up to 864 square feet and by CUP to 1,008 square feet. PF3374 RCA CUP 032502 Page 2
