building would be within this limit because it would not exceed the approximately 1,140- square-foot footprint of the principal structure (which does not have an attached garage). � 6.5 The land area of the subject property is approximately 17,000 square feet; � 1017.2651 � (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% m�imum; the excess can be eliminated by removing � some existing pavement or it can be accommodated and mitigated through the � Administrative Deviation process. Planning Division staff does not recommend � additional conditions of approval because impervious surface area is regulated by normal � Code requirements from which the applicant is not seeking to deviate. � 6.6 All of the above Code requirements work together to allow the proposed structure, but � this one building will utilize the m�imum extent of such allowances and preclude the � construction of any other accessory buildings on the property. 1 6.% 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 � coNDiT1oNAL 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 facilities: 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 PF09-033 RCA 111609.doc Page 5 of 8
