Applicant seeks SUP for residential infill; commissioners press for two‑car garage
Summary
Alex Flores requested a specific use permit to replace a mobile home with a new house on a 0.165‑acre lot in Lake Rockwell Estates; staff noted the UDC requires a two‑car garage, the applicant asked for a one‑car garage due to budget constraints, and commissioners asked for revised plans showing a two‑car garage.
Alex Flores presented a request for a specific use permit to replace an existing mobile home with a new single‑family house on a 0.165‑acre lot identified as Lot 846 in Lake Rockwell Estates. The property manager and staff noted the Unified Development Code expects a two‑car garage for new homes in the area, but the applicant said his budget limits him to a one‑car garage.
Alex said he bought the property recently: "I bought the property a couple of weeks ago." Staff told the commission the lot is actually wider than many in the neighborhood (about 60 by 120 feet) and can accommodate a two‑car garage; however, the SUP process allows the commission to consider variances when warranted. Commissioners expressed they would prefer to see a two‑car garage if the project is to be supported, while acknowledging the applicant’s budget concerns. Staff and applicant will return with revised plans.
No vote was taken; the commission will take up the revised submission at a future meeting.
