The detached accessory structure appears to meet all applicable zoning standards regarding size, exterior finish, setbacks, etc. As proposed, the Applicant will need to work with the Building Division to ensure compliance with septic regulations (due to the proposed bathroom), and to obtain any other applicable permits (septic, electrical, etc.). The Applicant has received all necessary permits up to this point and received a Stop Work Order after a plumbing permit came in for the wet bar. Staff did not receive full information on how the building would be used during initial permit review, so the building is under construction. Staff does not believe that the Applicants will utilize the space as an accessory home or for sleeping space, but does believe that future homeowners could utilize the space as an event center, site for a home -based business, or have someone live in the space. Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt Resolution # 19-270 approving an Accessory Structure Agreement. If approved, Staff could complete the review and issue the Building Permit for the detached accessory structure. Since it does not appear that the accessory structure is intended to be used as an accessory apartment, Staff would support this alternative. This would limit the ability for future homeowners to use as a building space, event space, or living space. Alternative 2: Adopt Resolution # 19-270 approving an Accessory Structure Agreement and direct Staff to prepare information for a future work session to discuss accessory apartments. If approved, Staff could complete the review and issue the Building Permit for the detached accessory structure. Since it does not appear that the accessory structure is intended to be used as an accessory apartment, Staff would also support this alternative as these types of requests are becoming more commonplace. Alternative 3: Do not adopt Resolution # 19-270. This would likely prohibit Staff from issuing a Building Permit for the proposed detached accessory structure as it could be considered an accessory apartment. Staff believes that the Accessory Structure Agreement sufficiently addresses that concern and does not support this alternative. Funding Source: This is being handled as part of Staffs regular duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution # 19-270. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution 419-270 approving an Accessory Structure Agreement for a detached accessory structure at 16501 Jarvis St NW contingent upon review as to legal form by the City Attorney.
