Nelson -Hill Trust— A conditional use permit request to allow a shared driveway The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for a shared driveway between two parcels.

The variance would grant 0 feet for street frontage where 300 feet is required by ordinance. The applicant is also requesting the termination of a development agreement that considers two of the lots as one lot and states that they cannot be sold together. In order to terminate this agreement and restrictive covenant, the applicant has requested the variance and conditional use permit.

Staff recommended approval of the variance and CUP subject to the conditions listed in the attached draft resolutions to the Planning Commission. Staff also recommends approval of
