FILE #15-3704 14 Jan 2015 Page 3 of 5 Hardcover Variance At 479�o hardcover,the property currently exceeds the Tier 3 hardcover limit of 35�0. The proposed addition will be constructed over existing hardcover and will not result in an increase. The change from nonstructural hardcover to structural hardcover technically requires approval of a hardcover variance. Conditional Use Permit Analysis City Code Section 78-348(7) allows for public service structures in the LR-1C district as a conditional use, provided that all buildings and structures are located at least 50 feet from any adjacent property zoned for residential use. Additions to an existing conditional use are treated as amendments to the earlier approval. By code, conditionally permitted uses must be reviewed using the criteria found in Sections 78-916 and 78-1286 of the Shoreland regulations. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted,the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: (1) Consistent with the community management plan; (2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 (i.e.78-966 thru 78-968)of the City Code; (3) Adequately served by police,fire, roads,and stormwater management; (4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; (5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; (6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; (7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; (8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; (9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; (10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; (11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference,general unsightliness,or other means; (12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties,traffic congestion, or unsafe access; (13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; (14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; and (15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety,or general welfare.
