Findings: <br />1.That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the <br />Zoning Chapter and the purposes of the district in which the site is located and <br />Comprehensive Municipal Plan. <br />Non-rental guest apartments are allowed by conditional use permit in residential <br />zoning districts provided they meet the necessary criteria of having the primary means of <br />access to the apartment directly through the residence. <br />2.That the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under <br />which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, <br />safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. <br />The proposed guest apartment would not negatively affect the health safety or welfare <br />of the vicinity. <br />3.That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions <br />of the Zoning Chapter. <br />The living quarters under construction do not have the primary entrance directly through <br />the principal living area. The primary entrance is through the garage, with a secondary point <br />of ingress and egress provided directly to the outside. While a driveway currently leads to <br />this door, it is in place for the duration of construction only. When the guest apartment is <br />completed, both occupants will share the existing driveway leading to the garage. <br />The entrance to the guest apartment is at the south end of the garage. The entrance to the <br />principal living space is at the north ead. This arrangement is conducive to creating a <br />completely separate apartment in the future if a wall is constructed separating the south <br />garage stall from the rest of the garage. Attachment H shows the general layout of the <br />garage. If this ever occurs for the purposes of renting the guest apartment, it is grounds for <br />revoking the conditional use permit <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Planning Commission discuss issues involved in approval of denial of the <br />conditional use permit. <br />C.iV OStrom on behalf ofJeannne SUihun <br />“^55 Ferndale Avenue Sorth <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />1/15/98 <br />Page! <br />i
