Garage stalls accessory to residential structures may be located anywhere on the* lot other than a required yard area except that such garages may be located to within ten (10) feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten (10) feet of a rear lot line subject to Section 3l.300tt. Open parking spaces on lots must have a location other than a require yard except that such parking may be located in a rear yard to within ten (10) feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten (10) feet of a rear lot line. Area D (Lot 3) is not combined with Area B (Lots 4 & 5) . Ordinance requires that these lots must be combined. Staff recommends approval of a variance application setting limits on the size of the addition so that the completed structure will not exceed 1,000 s.f. in area. Such approval is based on the following conditions and findings: 1. All five lots must be combined based on Ordinance No. 38.201 and the finding that the three rental units on substandard lots are accessory in use to the principal homestead use. The entire parcel is approximately 54,945 s.f. The zoning district requires 43,560 s.f. in area. The assessor has advised that all five lots can be combined. 2. The completed structure cannot exceed 1,000 s.f. in area based on Zoning Ordinance No. 31.330 and the requirements set forth in the Building Code - Review Exhibits B, C, and D. Any structure over 1,000 s.f. in area is reviewed under the commercial requirements or standards of the U.B.C. The concern in approving variances for such structures in residential zones would be the potential use under a new ownership. The code specifically refers to private garages. 34.040 R-IA Accessory Uses Within any R-lA - One Family Residential District, no accessory structure or use of land shall be permitted except for one or more of the following uses: 34.041 Garages Private garages and parking space. Unless the code is amended, the City cannot approve of commercial garages in residential zones. A garage over 1,000 s.f. is a commercial structure. 3. All existing violations of Ordinance No. 82.040 (b) & (c) must be removed.
