Item 07E October 24, 2019 Page 2 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. 7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. 8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Additional criteria specific to oversized garages in the R-1 district, include; the garage shall have a uniform appearance with the home; the garage cannot exceed 35’ in width (23’-4’ proposed); and the garage shall be a permanent structure.4 Summary The applicant has requested a Conditional Use Permit for a 1,227 sq ft oversized garage, attached to the home. The Planning Commission reviewed the request on October 19, 2016, and recommended approval of the CUP (Resolution 1057-16). A Public Hearing notice was published in the New Brighton-Mounds View Sun Focus on Sept 30, 2016, and mailed to property owners within 350’ of the subject property. Recommendation: Staff requests that the City Council conduct a Public Hearing, and recommends approval of Resolution 8646, approving a Conditional Use Permit for a 1,227 sq ft accessory building. The addition to the attached garage will decrease the front yard setback from 75’ to 51’ (minimum 45’ required), and will be closer to the street than the neighboring home, but is consistent with requirements of the City Code.
