Planning commission approves conditional use permit for accessory dwelling unit at 1974 East / 7775 South
Summary
The South Weber City Planning Commission on July 9 approved a conditional use permit for a 1,062-square-foot external accessory dwelling unit at 1974 East / 7775 South, conditioning approval on a revised site plan that shows one additional parking stall and a hard-surface driveway or parking area to the side or rear of the primary building.
The South Weber City Planning Commission voted to approve a conditional use permit for a 1,062-square-foot external accessory dwelling unit on a 0.413-acre lot at 1974 East / 7775 South, with conditions requiring an additional parking stall and a hard-surface (cement or asphalt) driveway or parking area to the side or rear of the primary building.
Staff described the proposal as conforming to the Residential Low zoning and the city's land-use matrix, but noted the submitted site plan did not show the additional parking space required for the accessory dwelling unit. "It meets the lot needs requirements... but they need to provide one more parking space," said Lance, a city staff member who presented the application. Lance added that building permits will not be issued until a site plan shows the required parking stall outside the front setback.
During discussion commissioners asked whether the extra stall was sufficient for a two-bedroom unit and whether the driveway surface needed to be paved. The chair read the approval condition aloud: "with the condition that a hard surface (cement or asphalt) parking space be installed to the side or rear of the primary building." That wording was accepted by commissioners and included as part of the approval.
The applicant was not present at the meeting. Commissioners emphasized that the commission issues the conditional use permit and that granting the CUP is contingent on the applicant submitting a revised site plan showing the additional stall and hard-surface parking. The commission proceeded to a roll-call vote and approved the permit; the record shows a unanimous approval count recorded in the meeting minutes and on the roll call.
Because the item is a conditional use permit handled by the planning commission, staff will require the updated site plan and enforce the parking and surfacing condition before issuing a building permit.
What happens next: the applicant must submit a revised site plan showing the required parking location and hard-surface drive/parking area; staff will verify compliance before any building permit is issued.
