Commission approves Rojo guest house; staff says lot size and deed restriction meet ordinance tests
Summary
The planning commission unanimously approved Manuel Rojo’s conditional-use grant for a guest house at W 208 S 8861 Hillandale Drive; staff noted the lot (about 245,000 sq ft) exceeds minimum requirements and that the guest house (about 2,400 sq ft) will be tied to a recorded conditional-use restriction prohibiting rental.
The Muskego City Planning Commission on Feb. 3 approved a building-site and operation plan and conditional-use grant for Manuel Rojo’s property at W 208 S 8861 Hillandale Drive.
Staff said the existing home will become a guest house once a new primary residence is built and that the guest house is roughly 2,400 square feet while the new main home would total about 7,000 square feet of finished living space. The lot was described as roughly 245,000 square feet, exceeding the ordinance minimum of 120,000 square feet.
Staff reiterated that guest houses on qualifying lots are permitted through the conditional-use process and that conditions of approval will be recorded on the deed to prohibit rental or commercial use. During discussion commissioners asked about driveway/access regulation on city roads; staff said the city does not restrict the number of access points on city roads and that limits are different for county or state roads.
The commission voted unanimously to approve Resolution PC 002 2026. The approval contains the standard recorded conditions preventing rental or lease and outlines required minimum sizes and lot-area checks in the resolution.
