Planning Case No. 529-98 Medrud&Jordan CUP June 3, 1998 • Page 3 This proposal satisfies the conditional use permit criteria. Also in Section 1125.01, the Planning Commission is to examine the possible adverse affects of the oversized shed, which are as follows: (1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. (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. The conversion of the garage to a storage shed will not create a greater impact on existing public facilities or services, on utilities or access roads, nor will it create an increase in traffic on adjacent streets. There will be no increase in runoff from the shed above which is currently generated. (2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. • The location of the garage/shed behind the home will hide it from general public view. The structure will be in full view of the adjoining properties, although this is already the case. (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. Sheds and out-buildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of yard and garden equipment . Having this shed will allow for the property owners to store items currently left outside within a secure and protected structure. Staff believes that the adverse affects of this development proposal are minimal and are far out- weighed by the overall benefits. Recommendation: • Approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 540-98, recommending to the City Council approval of a conditional use permit for Leonard Medrud and Arthur Jordan, allowing a 280 square-foot oversized shed at 2085 Oakwood Drive, with stipulations.
