Mackeben CUP Request 8011 Sunnyside Road September 15, 1999 • Page 3 Adding to the existing garage will have an immediate positive impact on the value of the subject property. At 1,040 square feet, set back from the street as far as it is, this garage addition probably would not depreciate the surrounding area in any way. 5. The demonstrated need for such a use. The applicant has stated that he would like to use this area for hobbies and a work shop. In creating this space, there would be ample room to do crafts or woodworking, instead of taking up space in the existing garage or in the basement. This proposal appears to satisfy the adverse effects criteria. Also in Section 1125.01, the Planning Commission is to examine the criteria for granting a conditional use permit, which are outlined in Section 1125.01, Sub 3b: (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. • Adding on to the garage would not create a greater impact on existing public facilities, parks, schools or services, on utilities or access roads, nor would it create an increase in traffic on adjacent streets. (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. Because the house is set back further than is typical, and because the addition would be situated behind the garage, there would be substantial public screening from this accessory structure. (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. • Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of vehicles and yard and garden equipment.
