Section 10.20 Subd. 3G (CUP for Guest Houses and Non-Rental Guest Apartments) Section 10.20 Subd. 3Q (Plumbing in Accessory Building) Plumbing in Accessory Structure CUP Applicant proposes to construct a detached 844 s.f 2-stall garage with adjacent shop area, and a swond level with a sitting room, exercise room, screen porch plus half-bath and kitchenette (range, sink and refrigerator). As depicted in the plans, the proposed structure contains all the features that would make it functional as a guest house. However, the property is in a 2-acre zone and is only 1.5 acres in area, so it does not qualify for a Guest House CUP which requires double the zoning district acreage, or 4 acres. Applicant has indicated he is willing to remove elements of the kitchenette necessary to disqualify this as a guest house. If this solution is satisfactory to the Planning Commission, the requirement that no such fixtures could be installed at a later date would be estoblished in the resolution approving the Plumbing in Accessory Structure CUP. The criteria or conditions for a CUP for accessory structure plumbing include; The Council must find that the proposed use of the accessory structure with plumbing will not be detrimental to the residential character of the neighborhood. The Council must find that the plumbing fixtures proposed are in keeping with the intended use of the accessory building. The property must be 2.0 acres in area or larger. The accessory building must be conforming in location, size and height. The property owner must agree to the filing of a covenant in the title of the property providing that: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. a. the accessory building will not be used for a home occupation unless specifically approved by City or if allowed by City code.
