space allowed on his property at 14490 Bowers Drive NW. The subject property is approximately .7 acres in size and is zoned R~I Rural Residential. On a .7 acre parcel, City Code allows a maximum of 1,488 square feet of accessory structure space. Accessory structures include all attached and detached garages and outbuildings in excess of 120 square feet in size. (Structures 120 square feet and less in size do not require a building permit and, therefore, are not considered permanent structures and do not count against the total amount of accessory structure space allowed on a property.) The Davis' have a 576 square foot attached garage and a 120 square foot garden shed. Reducing the 1,488 restriction by 576 square feet results in an accessory structure allowance of 912 square feet remaining on the property. Mr. Davis is proposing to build a 960 square foot (24'x40') detached garage for the storage of personal property. This proposal results in a 48 square foot overage in the amount of accessory structure space allowed on the property. Similar permits have been granted in the past. The Planning Commission conducted the public heating on June 5 and there were no written or verbal comments submitted. The request is minimal and the Planning Commission is recommending approval of the 48 square foot overage.

Case #4: Request for an Interim Use Permit for Outdoor Paintball Activities; Case of Diehard Paintball Community Development Assistant Wald stated that the City has received a request for an interim use permit from Diehard Paintball to establish an outdoor paintball course on the property located at 14622 Ferret Street. The property has been used in the past several years for various outdoor recreational activities. The City granted a conditional use permit in 1988 for the go-cart track, bumper boats, and the miniature golf course. The conditional use permit was amended in 1994 to include batting cages and a driving range. The property owner has not been operating any recreational activities on the parcel for several years. Brian Gower is proposing to lease the subject property from KRH Land LLC to facilitate a paintball business. The property is zoned industrial and recreational activities are not a permitted use.
