The property is zoned R-1, <br />Single Family Residential, and is surrounded primarily by single family neighborhood in all directions. <br />The Applicants have provided a diagram of the <br />property showing the location and dimensions of the <br />chicken coop in relation to their property. The <br />proposed location in line with an existing shed, placed <br />along the east side of the property. The proposed <br />enclosed structure would be approximately 6 feet <br />wide by 6 feet long, with an open fenced “run” of 6 <br />feet by 12 feet, extending north from the coop. The <br />plans do not specify height of the coop or run, but <br />from the drawings, appear to be approximately 3 - 4 <br />feet high. <br />According to the site plan provided by the applicants, <br />the coop is proposed to be located approximately 3 <br />feet from the east rear yard boundary line (inside the <br />fenced yard. For accessory buildings, a setback <br />requirement from adjoining side and rear lot lines is 5 <br />feet. The proposed coop location should be adjusted <br />to meet the setback requirements. <br />The application letter notes that the 3-foot setback is proposed to be consistent with an existing shed on <br />the property. Planning staff would recommend relocation of the existing shed to meet the required 5 <br />foot setback. <br /> <br />13
