�']� � �'(�/� �' " r REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 19 November 2008 Item No. Department Approval: � Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Name: Melanie Curtis �L(/ Title: Planning & Zoning Coordinator Item Description: Building Permit for an Open Pergola at 2455 Shadywood Road (Dr. Erick Englund DDS) Zoning District: B-4, Office and Professional Business District List of Exhibits: Exhibit A- Plan and Elevation Views of Proposal Application Summary: City Code Section 78-732 "Building permit application review" states: All applications for a building permit in any 8-4 office and professional district shall be reviewed by the council and may be referred to the p/anning commission for review. The property owner has submitted a building permit application for internal modifications (including moving the main entrance location), new windows and to re-side the building with a stone and metal finish. Additionally they have requested a permit in order to construct a half-barrel vault roof over a portion of the new entrance including a "wing wall" which is proposed to extend 7' away from the building toward the parking lot. The barrel vaulted roof and the wing wall extend outside the existing envelope of the building, thus triggering a review by Council per the aforementioned City Code section. The existing building encroaches approximately 5 feet into the required 15 foot side yard setback. The original request reflected an encroachment by an open, covered porch into the side yard. The applicant has agreed to remove the open porch from the proposal in order to meet the side setback requirement. Staff Recommendation Planning Staff finds that the proposal does not require variances or other land use approvals, nor does the proposal impact the parking requirements or other site plan components. Staff recommends the building permit be granted. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should direct staff to issue the building permit or refer the application to the Planning Commission for a commercial site plan review.
