Meeting Date: 11/12/2019 By: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution 19-270 Approving Accessory Structure Agreement at 16501 Jarvis St NW; Case of Allen and Alycia Skogquist Purpose/Background: The City has received an application from Allen and Alycia Skogquist (the "Applicant") for a Building Permit for an approximately 12,000 square foot detached accessory structure at the property located at 16501 Jarvis St NW (the "Subject Property"). The floor plan for the detached accessory building indicates that the accessory structure would: a 1,072.50 square feet dedicated to living space, of which 160 square feet will be reserved for a wet bar. This area includes a fireplace, three TVs, and a full wet bar along with couches and space for hangouts, parties, etc. This area also includes provisions for eating and cooking, arcade games, ping-pong tables, a dart board, and multiple couches. . 1,088 square feet for dedicated storage on the mezzanine level. a 84 square feet dedicated to a full bathroom including sink, tub, and toilet. Per City Code Section 117-349(d)(8), the City prohibits detached accessory buildings from containing complete independent living facilities (accessory apartments) which are defined as having three or more of the following: permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, and sanitation. Staff notes there is living space, kitchen space (including a fridge, sink, oven with no cooktop, and ice maker), and a bathroom. The building is heated as well, which would lend itself to future living or event space. The Applicant has maximized the amount of detached structures allowed onsite per the City Code. Any future detached building, including a small shed, would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the Code is currently written. Notification: Notification is not required. Observations/Alternatives: City Code Section 117-349(d)(8) prohibits accessory buildings from containing complete independent living facilities (accessory apartments). This is defined as have three or more of the following: permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, and sanitation. While it does not appear that the proposed detached accessory building would be utilized as an accessory apartment, it seems that it may have the potential to be used in that capacity in the future. Thus, Staff has drafted an Accessory Structure Agreement outlining how the building may be used and specifically prohibits its use now, or in the future, as an accessory apartment. Staff has also included that the building cannot be used in relation to a home -based business, nor as a commercial event space.
