issued for a structure to exceed 1,000 square feet of garage and accessory building area, the parcel shall not be eligible for a detached shed. CONCLUSION The second garage has already been constructed on the property and reviewed by the Building Inspector. It was determined that the total floor area of both garages is less than 1,500 square feet and therefore allowed by a Conditional Use Permit. The second garage meets all setback requirements and is otherwise compliant with City Code. When considering the proposed text amendments, the Planning Commission's judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: 1. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 2. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed site is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. 3. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. 4. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the aggregate property values in the area in which the amendment or conditional use is proposed. 5. The applicant shall demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Planning staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use Permits, based on a finding that the additional garage space does not crowd the subject property, nor does it encroach on neighboring property. This recommendation is made with the condition that the applicant comply with the regulation limiting impervious surface coverage to a maximum of 30 percent. Pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus 2
