Planning staff previews conditional-use permit for single-family dwelling proposed by Vets Housing LLC
Summary
Planning staff presented a work-session review of a conditional-use permit application by Vets Housing LLC to construct a single-family dwelling on two nonconforming lots on South Nineteenth Avenue in Ward 5; the Planning Commission recommended approval 3-0 and staff listed standard CUP conditions.
At a work session segment of the meeting the Planning Department presented a conditional-use permit application from Vets Housing LLC to combine two parcels (0131595 and 0131600) on South Nineteenth Avenue (Ward 5) and construct a single-family, one-story dwelling of about 1,352 square feet (three bedrooms, two baths).
Staff said the combined parcel would remain nonconforming to the R-2 minimum by width and total square feet (combined at 50 feet wide and 6,000 square feet vs. the R-2 minimum of 75 feet wide and 7,500 square feet). Planning staff noted the proposed dwelling is larger than the neighborhood average (average home size cited as approximately 1,007 square feet). The applicant proposes vinyl siding and staff said the dwelling will meet R-2 setbacks.
Planning staff recommended approval with standard conditions (combine lots 19 and 20, minimum 12-inch eaves, 20% tree canopy coverage, asphalt or concrete driveway, brick or stone foundation on all four sides, foundation plantings and construction in substantial conformance with the presented plans). The Planning Commission had recommended approval 3-0. There was no public comment recorded on the application at the public hearing stage and staff said they had received no departmental comments. No council vote was taken during the work session; the matter will proceed through the permit process.
