The property has 1.25 acres in area, therefore <br />a guest house is permitted via a conditional use permit. Because the existing detached garage <br />footprint is larger than 1,000 square feet, it is nonconforming with respect to size, a variance <br />from Section 78-1437 is required. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Section 78-420 & 78-1434 — Guest House Setbacks: <br />The guest house is proposed to be constructed within an existing 1,164 square foot building <br />(including the deck and stair) which is considered to be a non -conforming oversize accessory <br />structure (OAS). The property is over 1.0 acres and is permitted one OAS up to 1,000 square foot <br />footprint. An OAS must meet principal structure setbacks. <br />
