ZONING: R-30 APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant seeks Conditional Use approval for an accessory dwelling unit detached from the primary residence (above a garage). PROPOSAL: The proposal calls for remodeling an attic over an existing.garage to create an apartment.of approximately 490 square feet. Please see Attachment "A" for site plan, floor plan and elevation sketches. REFERRAL COMMENTS: The Housing Authority recommends approval of this unit with the condition that prior to the issuance of any building permits, the unit must be deed restricted as a resident occupied unit with minimum lease periods of 6 months or longer. Upon approval of the deed restriction by the Housing Authority, the applicant shall record the restriction with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Office.

Please keep it with your land use code for future reference. Accessory Dwelling Units (Detached) Section 5-508 of the Land Use Code (along with amendments from Ordinance 60) describes the ,required standards for accessory dwelling units. They j�;;S�f L e:.;prQposed,, Ullit;. L-(4.9-0� �:..j�:�its within the 300-700 5qU*e'er fod _ a►ng �,jas� �# e�T b e cx ires.Fov,As rk before, the unit must be deed restricted to resident occupancy with minimum leases of 6 months or longer. Parking is not required for studio or one -bedroom units. Section 508 A.3. allows detached units to be placed above garages or carports. Review standards for detached units are found in.Section 5-508 B: 1. The proposed development is compatible and subordinate in character with the primary residence located on the parcel and with development located within the neighborhood. response: The garage and residence were recently constructed and are compatible with each other. The conversion of the attic area in the garage to a dwelling unit will not change the appearance of the structure. 2. Where the proposed development varies from the dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall find that such variation is more compatible in character with the primary residence than the development in accord with the dimensional requirements. response: The existing garage structure complies with the required setbacks of the R-30 zone district. No variances are requested. 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee may exempt existing non -conforming structures, being converted to a detached accessory dwelling unit, from Section 5-508 B.2.(a-g) provided that the non- conformity is not increased. response: This standard does not apply. 4. Conditional Use Review shall be granted pursuant to Section 7-304.Standards applicable to all conditional uses. response: See the following information. Conditional Use Review Standards: A. The conditional use is consistent and compatible with the character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and surrounding land uses, or enhances the mixture of complimentary uses and activities in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. response: The neighborhood is comprised of single family homes on fairly large lots. This garage apartment use enhances the Hamilton's use of their property by allowing a resident caretaker. B. The location, size, design and operating characteristics of the proposed conditional use minimizes adverse effects, including visual impacts, impacts on pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, trash, service delivery, noise, vibrations and odor on surrounding properties; and response: As the unit will be built into.an existing garage, further visual impacts will occur.
