Commission reviews special‑use permit to convert 375 sq. ft. of accessory building at 1005 Tinker into ADU for family members
Summary
The applicant seeks a special‑use permit to convert 375 square feet of an existing 1,200‑square‑foot accessory building into an accessory dwelling unit for elderly family members. Commissioners raised parking and service‑access questions; no vote was recorded in the work session.
An applicant asked the Planning and Zoning Commission for a special‑use permit to allow an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 1005 Tinker Road by converting about 375 square feet of an existing accessory building.
Staff said the existing accessory structure was built and permitted in 2018 and is approximately 1,200 square feet; the request would convert part of that interior space to living area for elderly parents or family members without exterior additions. The applicant indicated the conversion would include plumbing and basic kitchen/bath facilities but that no new exterior construction was proposed.
Commissioners asked whether parking would be adequate on the residential street, noting Shepherd Church across the road can generate high Sunday parking demand. Staff and the applicant pointed out the property has a long driveway with multiple on‑site parking spaces. The city’s R‑40 zoning allows ADUs via special‑use permit, staff said. No formal vote was recorded during the work session.
