RE: Hamilton Conditional Use Review for Detached Accessory
Dwelling Unit
DATE: January 11, 1991
SUMMARY: The Planning Office recommends approval of this
conditional use. This is the first detached accessory dwelling
unit to be processed under the newly adopted "Cottage In -Fill
Amendment", Ordinance 60 Series 1990. '
APPLICANT: Skip and Ruth Hamilton, represented by Al Beyer
LOCATION: 420 N. Spring (Lots 1 and 3-7. Block 4, Oklahoma
Flats) The parcel size is 31,074 s.f.
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. (Attachment "B")
STAFF COMMENTS: Ordinance 60,'approved in October 1990, provides
for Conditional Use review of accessory dwelling units detached
from the primary residences. This is the first application to be
considered under these revised land use code provisions.
Attached for your convenience is a copy of Ordinance 60. 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. Four parking spaces a_
