Case #5: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed Size Restrictions for Accessory Structures; Case of Gerald and Karen Schmidt Community Development Director Frolik stated that City Code restricts accessory structure building size based on the size of the parcel. The City has received an application from Gerald and Karen Schmidt for a conditional use permit to exceed the detached accessory building size restrictions established in City Code on the property located at 15243 Yakima Street NW. The subject property is approximately 37,000 square feet in size; City Code restricts accessory buildings to 1,488 square feet on parcels this size. The applicants are proposing to construct a detached accessory building that would be 1,080 square feet. Based on the existing accessory square footage, the new building would exceed the allowable total for the parcel by 456 square feet. The applicants are requesting the additional square footage to construct a building to store the applicant's motor home, boats, and other property. The applicants are limited to three accessory structures on the property. The proposed detached accessory building will comply with all of the setback requirements and accessory structure height restrictions established in City Code. City Code requires accessory structures to match the finish material on the dwelling or have metal panels that are color compatible. The applicants' home is stucco; the applicant is proposing vinyl or hardboard siding for the accessory structure that will be the same color as the home. The Planning Commission and staff recommended granting the request for conditional use permit.
