Upon reviewing Loving Care Senior Sen, ices, Don Kveton's, and Mr. and Mrs. Upton's request for a conditional use permit to maintain two dwellings on a parcel, the City Council Stated that requests for two dwellings on a property should be viewed as a means to remedy a unique or already existing situation. The Council does not intend to set a precedent in allowing two dwellings on a parcel when new construction is required. Recommendation: Based upon the City Councils review of previous requests for a conditional use permit to maintain two dwellings on a parcel, it would appear that Mr. and Mrs. Young's request for a second dwelling would be considered new construction. This is not in accordance with the Council's desire to rectify only existing non-conforming situations and their desire not to set a precedent in allowing two dwellings on a parcel. Therefore Staff is recommending denial of Mr. and Mrs. Young's request until the-City can review the subject as to allow or disallow maintaining two dwellings on one single-family parcel through the Chapter 9 rewrite process. However, in the event that there is a desire to recommend approval of the request, a boiler plate conditional use permit is enclosed for consideration. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt findings of fact # relating to Mr. and Mrs. Young's request for a conditional use permit to maintain two dwellings on one parcel. -and- Motion to recommend that City Council approve Mr. and Mrs. Young's request for a conditional use permit based on the findings of fact. -or- Motion to recommend' that City 'Council deny Mr.- and Mrs. Young's request for a- conditional use permit based on the findings of fact.
