areas are reseeded. Architecture Staff has been working with the Applicant on architectural design. The Planning Commission should consider requiring the Applicant to match the stone work on the existing dwelling, detached garage, and barn. The three existing buildings on the property all match. The proposed building would look out of place if it did not match these three existing buildings. Conditions Staff believes that the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit will help improve the property by providing space inside for the Applicant's boats, cars, and other recreational items. Staff has put a condition in the CUP that the building cannot be used for a home -based business. The Planning Commission added a condition requiring the addition be architecturally compatible to the existing building and that a driveway must be put in. The Subject Property must remain in compliance with all other local standards, including the number of items allowed to be stored outdoors and off-street parking regulations. The property is not currently in compliance with these standards, but the Applicant has stated it will be in compliance once the structure is built. Public Comment Staff received one written comment from a resident who stated that they would like to see the building be built large enough to store all of the Applicant's items that are currently stored outdoors on the Subject Property. They were not supportive of a driveway off Traprock St for the building, though the Planning Commission has recommended a driveway based on the existing wear on the grass. Numerous neighbors attended the July 10, 2019 Planning Commission meeting and were in consensus that the existing detached garage (the Applicant's primary garage) should not count towards the square footage limit for detached structures on the property. They were also generally in consensus that the building should meet the other bulk standard requirements for height, location, and size. The Planning Commission tabled the request in order to provide the Applicant time to reduce the size of the building being requested. The 3,000 square foot building (addition and existing building) is a reduction that both the Applicant and Planning Commission felt comfortable with and believed would provide the Applicant adequate space to store their vehicles. The Planning Commission was supportive of the request for a 3,000 square foot building onsite, in addition to the existing detached garage, based on the numerous other buildings in the neighborhood that are of a comparable size. Funding Source: All costs associated with this project are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt Resolution #19-161 approving the Conditional Use Permit for an oversized accessory building addition contingent upon compliance with staff review comments and architectural conditions. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #19-161 approving a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized accessory building at 15800 Traprock St NW.
