Approve Request by James Carr for an Accessory Dwelling Unit as a Condi- tional Use at 2478 Hamline Avenue (Former Consent Item 7.g) Councilmember Willmus requested that staff provide a history of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) versus Conditional Uses; new applications under the re- vised Zoning Code; and staff's rationale for allowing a larger amount of square footage for this particular ADU than the standard application of six hundred feet (600'). Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd provided that historical perspective, based on the City's new Zoning Code, and staff's rational for recommending the ADU as a CONDITIONAL USE as opposed to an INTERIM USE as a matter of practicality and more permanent in nature than an INTERIM USE used on a more temporary basis. Related to the size limitations of Code, Mr. Lloyd advised that the number was chosen arbitrarily, and its purpose was to avoid over two (2) occupants in smaller amounts of space, but having a unique address from the primary structure; and limiting the bedrooms to avoid higher occupancy as well. Mr. Lloyd noted that, in putting this new portion of the Zoning Code into practical use, staff would be coming forward in the future with an amendment to Zoning Code to limit that occupancy in ADU's to two (2) people, and require that a unique address be is- sued to assist public safety personnel as needed.
