6. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the development of the <br />conditional use shall reflect the architectural character of the conforming buildings in the surrounding <br />area in regard to the following: <br />a. Proportion, scale and roof line; <br />b. Architectural style; and <br />c. Exterior finish materials. <br />Analysis - <br />Setbacks: <br />The Ordinance requires accessory structures to be set back not less than 10 feet from side lot lines and <br />30 feet from the rear lot line. The site plan submitted shows the additional garage behind the house <br />with a setback of 11 feet from the side (north) lot line and greater than 500 feet from the rear (east) lot <br />line. Applicable setback requirements have been satisfied. <br />Lot Coverage: <br />According to the Ordinance, no Conditional Use Permit shall be issued for detached accessory building <br />or garage area of more than 1,000 square feet in which the two combined exceeds 10 percent of the <br />rear yard. The proposal is for attached and detached garage space and the applicant does not have any <br />other accessory structures in the rear yard. The proposed additional garage complies with this <br />provision as it would total approximately 0.5 % of the rear yard. <br />Accessory Building Area: <br />The total garage and accessory building space upon a property may not exceed 1,500 square feet. The <br />proposed total garage area will be 1,335 square feet. The primary issue with additional garage space <br />relates to the potential for over-crowding on the lot. As designed, the second garage will be located <br />behind the house. When a CUP is issued for garage space of more than 1,000 square feet, the parcel <br />shall no longer be eligible for a garden shed. The applicant does not have a shed and understands he is <br />forfeiting the ability to add a shed at a later date. <br />Recommendation - <br />The proposed garage addition appears to be consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for 3046 Labore Road to allow a <br />second garage for a total garage floor area of 1,335 square feet subject to the following <br />conditions: <br />•No business activities shall occur within the garage structure. <br />•The parcel shall no longer be eligible for an accessory shed.
