Municipal Zoning Code Section 10. 32 which regulates Planned Residential Developments (PRD) does not prohibit the . construction of accessorystructureswithin a PRD. Section 10. 32 Subdivision 6 generally requires approval by the Council for the location of proposed buildings. � 9 . The garage in question is accessory to the four residential units within this PRD, hence it meets the intent of zoning code Section 10. 03 Subdivision 9 (A) . The intent of 10.03 9 (A) is to allow accessory structures only on properties where a resident occupies the property in order to oversee the use and maintenance of such accessory structures. . 10 . The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staf f, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 11. The City Eouncil finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property i.n this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to ineighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to al�eviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehens.ive Plan of the City.
