Planning Commission approves conditional use permit for addition on nonconforming home at 1601 E. 200 S.
Summary
Pleasant Grove Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing an approximately 700-square-foot addition to a nonconforming home at 1601 East 200 South, with final planning, engineering and fire department requirements to be met.
The Pleasant Grove Planning Commission on May 8 approved a conditional use permit allowing an addition to a nonconforming home at 1601 East 200 South.
Jacob Hawkins of the planning department introduced the item, saying, "the first item that we have for tonight is a conditional use permit for a nonconforming home to construct an addition to the rear of their house." Hawkins told commissioners the house appears to have been built about 1952 and predates the earliest zoning ordinance on staff file (1963), so staff considers it nonconforming and recommended approval because the proposed addition largely meets zoning standards apart from a side-setback variance.
Hawkins said the proposed addition would be roughly 700 square feet, located on the north side of the house, and that it "would maintain a 3 foot distance from the side property line," while noting the minimum side setback for the zone is typically 10 feet. He told commissioners the structure would meet required minimum setbacks from the rear property line and that parking is already provided in the existing driveway.
Applicant Todd Matthews addressed the commission and identified himself for the record. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing.
Commissioner Fugel moved and Commissioner Martineau seconded a motion "the planning commission approve the request of Todd Matthews for the conditional use permit to allow an expansion of a nonconforming building located at 1601 East 200 South in the R-19 zone and adopted the exhibits conditions and findings of the staff report and is modified by the condition below that all final planning, engineering, and fire department requirements are met." The commission voted in favor; the chair called for aye and said, "Motion carries."
The approval is conditioned on meeting final planning, engineering and fire-department requirements as specified in the motion and staff report. The record does not show a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies.
The commission moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
