CAS # i REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN OVERSIZED ACCESSORY BUILDING; CASE OF STEVEN SCHWAAB By: Amy Geisler, Associate Planner Background: The City has received an application from Steven Schwaab for a conditional use permit to exceed the accessory building size restrictions established in City Code on the property located at 8732 168th Ave. NW. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Site layout c) Proposed building graphic d) Proposed findings of fact e) Proposed conditional use permit Notification: State statute requires notification of the public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff sent out notices to all property owners within 350 feet. Observations: The subject property is approximately 0.8 acres (35,811 square feet) in size and is located outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). According to City Code, the property is eligible for 1,488 square feet of accessory building space. The proposed building will be 1,120 square feet (28' x 40'). in size. Combined with the existing attached garage (529 sq. ft.), the applicant would have 1,649 sq. ft. in accessory building space. This results in an overage of 161 square feet. The applicant would like to exceed the size restriction in order to construct a detached accessory building that would accommodate the storage of private use vehicles and equipment. The proposed accessory building will be located in the rear yard, and will meet and/or exceed all setbacks established in the R-1 Rural Developing District. City Code requires a 10-day waiting period between the Planning Commission action and the City Council action on Conditional Use Permits. Because of Staff errors in processing the applicant's building permit application, Staff is proposing to present this case to the City Council on November 10 rather than November 25. This results in a waiting period of 3 days versus the l0 days required. The City Council will be asked to reduce the 10-day waiting period.
