Commission forwards recommendation for special-use permit to allow second carport at 600 N. Trinity
Summary
Planning staff said the second carport was longstanding and destroyed in a recent winter storm; the commission recommended that City Council approve SUP260003 to allow the owner to replace the second carport where it previously stood.
Planning staff recommended that the commission forward SUP260003 (600 North Trinity) to City Council with a recommendation of approval.
Lisa Hannon, Planning Director, entered the staff report and described the request: the property is single-family residential and already has one carport; the code requires a specific-use permit to allow more than one carport on a lot. Hannon said imagery shows the second carport has existed "since at least 1995," and that it was destroyed by recent winter storms; the property owner seeks to replace it in the same location and size. Staff reported that 17 property owners were notified and that two responses were in favor; no opposition was recorded.
Staff recommended approval and commissioners had no substantive questions. The commission made a motion to recommend approval to City Council (motion credited to Commissioner Shelby Hicks, seconded by Commissioner John Lanier) and the motion passed on an aye vote. The item will be forwarded to City Council for final action.
Because the permit would allow restoration of a longstanding structure, staff emphasized that building permits and applicable code requirements will still apply during the replacement process.
