SUBJECT: 15990 Stephanie Lane
County Referral # 6816-32-53-97SP
Special Permit for a secondary dwelling unit
RECOMMENDATION:
Forward a recommendation of denial.
REMARKS
The applicant is requesting approval of a special permit to construct a new 518 square foot detached secondary dwelling unit
on property prezoned R-1:8. The structure meets all setbacks and height requirements. However, the Town does not permit
new secondary dwelling zones in this zone and therefore has no alternative but to recommend denial. In addition, the Town
would consider the addition of a new living unit as an intensification of land use which would trigger annexation requirements.
Since the unit would not be permitted in the Town, the annexation is a moot issue. The plans also do not indicate that additional
parking will be provided for the unit. Based on the location of the existing structures, it does not appear that additional parking
can be provided to accommodate the unit. Based on these reasons, a recommendation for denial should be forwarded to the
County.
