(0.70 acre) <br />Allowed: 6,154 s.f. (20%) <br />Proposed: 3,984 s.f. (12.9%) <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Second Driveway Approach (Section 18-136 (a)) <br />The property is situated along Smith Avenue; the applicants have proposed a second driveway <br />access to accommodate a lower level secondary garage. According to City Code Section 18-136 <br />(a) one driveway approach is permitted per property. In addition to the CUP, the City Council will <br />need to grant approval to allow a 2nd driveway approach. This requirement is not within the <br />zoning code therefore a public hearing for this type of "variance" is not necessary; the City Council <br />shall consider the second driveway request when the CUP is reviewed. <br />Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-91 <br />The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use <br />Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the <br />application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the <br />proposed location is or will be: <br />1) Consistent with the community management plan; the intent for the proposed <br />grading is residential in nature, is consistent with the permitted uses for the <br />Property, and is compliant with the zoning code and comprehensive plan. <br />2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as <br />required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; the proposed grading is residential <br />in nature which is consistent with the permitted uses for the Property. <br />3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; this <br />statement is true. <br />4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; this statement <br />is true. <br />5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; this <br />statement is true. <br />6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is <br />planned to be used in the future; this criteria relates to whether the proposed grades <br />resulting from the earth moment are appropriate and in character with the <br />surrounding land and neighborhood. The re -grading of the Property will be more in <br />conformance with the neighborhood and allow the new home to be constructed <br />within the setbacks. Once completed, the grading will have no impact on surrounding <br />lands. The grades, once vegetated and landscaped should not have an adverse impact <br />on the neighborhood. <br />7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character <br />is called for in the community management plan; the proposed grades should not <br />result in a negative impact to neighboring properties. <br />8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding <br />area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the <br />proposed grading will allow for a garage entry on the main level and to accommodate <br />a lower level garage which is not out of character for the neighborhood. It is likely <br />adjacent properties will not be impacted. The site grading will be reviewed and <br />
