VII'-B-3 Patrick Mancino - Variance - 502 ih St w City Council Memo - June 16, 2003 Page 1 Memo To: Mayor Werner and City Council From: Kris Jenson, Associate Planner Date: June 16,2003 Subject: Patrick Mancino - Variance #2003-43 to enlarge a non-conforming structure located at 502 7th Street West. REQUEST Patrick Mancino seeks to place an attached garage at the rear of 502 7th Street West. The existing home is a legal non-conforming use. RECOMMENDATION Approval is recommended. The home was constructed well before any zoning regulations were in place, and the addition is in line with the existing sides of the home. The proposed addition itself meets all required setbacks. The variance is required due to the fact that the current front yard setback is approximately 8' - 10'. The Zoning Code states that a non-conforming structure may not be enlarged, thus a variance is required in order for any construction to take place. Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission reviewed this item at their June 9, 2003 meeting. They unanimously (5-0) recommended approval of the variance, based on the fact that the home was built prior to the adoption of zoning regulations, and the new addition would not encroach into the required setback. Heritage Preservation Candidate An application has been submitted to have the home added to the local Heritage Preservation List. A certification by the Planning Commission that the home is in compliance with the uses allowed in the R-2 Zoning District and the Comp Plan was on the agenda for the same meeting. .~~-,_~~'"d_.,___, ,-,-,','"."",.,.,',.., ,~ "r , . .~~...."'",.......,.""~,,.,.~~~-,.._.._,,.~,~,~,.._,~.~~=,
