r . <br />0.50 acres is normally required. <br />2. Approval of a hardcover variance to allow 38.6% hardcover in the 75’-250’ zone when 39% <br />currently exists and 25% is normally allowed. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />While planning Department staff has prepared a resolution consistent with the Planning <br />Commission’s recommendation, staff would like the City Council to recognize the following when <br />determining if the Planning Commission’s recommendation should be upheld and whether the <br />resolution should be adopted: <br />1 . The lot is nearly conforming at a size of 0.47 acres when 0.50 acres is required a discrepancy <br />of 1,156 square feet. The lot width at 120’ is conforming. <br />2. This project is a rebuild situation where Planning Commission and City Council have <br />consistently expected the property be brought into full confomumce. <br />3. Does the shape of the lot and the hardship demonstrated justify the magnitude of variance <br />that was recommended for approval? <br />4. Should the magnitude of haidimver variance be closer to 3,609 s.f or 32% as discussed in the <br />Planning Report (pg. 4) as the optimum hardcover allowance based on lot shape? Does <br />removal of 2,050 s.f. of existing hardcover from the 0*75’ zone justify approval of 38.6% <br />hardcover in the 75-250’ zone? <br />5. Reference memorandum from Planning Director Mike Gaffron, attached Exhibit B. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />The Council shall rule on one of the following options: <br />1. Adopt the attached Resolution granting a lot area and hardcover variance for 1740 <br />Shadywood Road at 38.6% or. <br />2. Deny the request.
