Il «04*2976 January 13,2004 Page 4 Required Findings In order to approve the CUP, Council must make the following two findings: - the proposed use of the accessory structure with plumbing will not be detrimental to the residential character of the neighborhood. - the plumbing fixtures proposed are in keeping with the intended use of the accessory building. Planning Commission should ask the applicant to confirm the intended uses of this building once the kitchen is removed, to ensure that the above findings are satisfied. Kitchen removal should include the following, in the opinion of staff: 1. Remove stove and microwave oven, if any. 2. Remove refiigerator. 3. Remove kitchen sink and associated plumbing. Planning Commission should confirm that these are the appropriate fixtures to be removed to result in the conversion from a ‘guest house’ use to an ‘accessory stmcture with plumbing’ use. The fixtures to be removed will be documented as ‘not allowed to be reinstalled’ in the CUP resolution. Issues for Consideration 1.Are the neighborhood impacts of the nonconforming aspects of the structure so minimal as to be a non-issue regarding this CUP request? 2.With removals of existing kitchen facilities, the structure will still have a bathroom. Is this consistent with the ^licant’s proposed use for the structure? Are the fixtures suggested for removal by staff the appropriate fixtures to be removed? 3. Does Planning Commission have any concerns regarding this proposed CUP? Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Ac CUP for plumbing in the accessory structure, subject to the following: I. Applicants to execute standard ‘use limitation’ covenants as required by City Ordinance. 2. Conversion from ‘guest house’ Jitatus to ‘accessory building with plumbing’ status will require removal of existing kitchen facilities including stove and microwave oven, if any, refiigerator, and kitchen sink and associated plumbing. iL
