Waters and William L. Smith to create a 400 sq. ft. accessory residential unit and construct an exterior staircase to access the new accessory unit, 50 Central Avenue. COMMENTS Administrative Officer Ray Belair and Planner Temporary Assignment Lee Krohn, AICP ("Staff") have reviewed the plans submitted on December 18, 2013, and offer the following comments. Zoning District & Dimensional Requirements: QCP Zoning District Required Existing Proposed w► Min. Lot Size 7500 S.F. 3485 S.F No change Max. Building Coverage 40% 34% No change Max. Overall Coverage 60% 41.5% 51% M in. Front Setback loft 15? ft No change Min. Side Setback 5 ft. 713" 5'1" Min. Rear Setback 10 ft. 26'7" No change Max. Building Height 25 ft. Unknown No change 4 Pre-existing non -complying Zoning compliance CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 14.100 of the Land Development Regulations, the proposed conditional use shall meet the following standards: 1. The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the planned character of the area as defined by the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. Staff suggest the proposed use is consistent with the planned character of the area, as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the proposed use is located. According to Section 4.08(A) of the Land Development Regulations, the QCP Zoning District is formed in order to encourage residential use at densities and setbacks that are compatible with the existing character of the Queen City Park neighborhood. It is designed to promote the area's historic development pattern of smaller lots and reduced setbacks. This district also encourages the conversation of seasonal homes to year round residences. Other than enhancement with an exterior stairway and expanded parking, the existing primary use as a single family home is not changing; therefore, staff feels the proposed use conforms with the purposes of the district. Adding an accessory apartment continues the residential use of the property; functionally no different than the multi bedroom home that exists today. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 3 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING 3. The Development Review Board must find that the proposed uses will not adversely affect the following: (a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities. The proposed accessory apartment will not adversely affect municipal services. (b) The planned character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses. The proposed accessory apartment is consistent with the planned character of the area, as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. (c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity. The proposed accessory apartment will not affect traffic in the vicinity any more than the multi bedroom home that exists today. (d) Bylaws in effect. Except where the DRB has discretionary authority noted above, the property is in compliance with the bylaws in effect, or is existing nonconforming. (e) Utilization of renewable energy resources. The proposed alteration will not impact adversely the abutting property owner's access to solar energy. ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNITS Pursuant to Section 3.10(E) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, in any district where a single- family residence is a principal permitted use, one (1) accessory residential unit within or attached to a primary single-family residence or within an existing, permitted accessory structure may be permitted by the DRB in accordance with Article 14, Site Plan Review, and the following additional criteria: 1) Floor space of the accessory residential unit shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total habitable area of the single-family dwelling unit. According to the applicant, the total habitable area of the single family dwelling unit as it exists today is 1850 sq. ft.. As proposed, the accessory residential unit will use 400 sq. ft. of that space, or 21.6% of the habitable area of the principal dwelling. The application conforms with this limitation. 2) The principal dwelling shall be owner occupied. The application is silent on whether the primary residence will be owner occupied. As this is required, the Board should seek sworn testimony on this point from the owner/applicant in the hearing. 3) The accessory dwelling shall be an efficiency or one -bedroom unit. The proposed accessory dwelling is a one -bedroom unit. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING 4) Adequate wastewater capacity is available to service the accessory unit, as demonstrated by the issuance of a Wastewater Allocation or on -site wastewater permit pursuant to the South Burlington Ordinance regulating the use of public and private sanitary sewage and stormwater systems. The applicant must obtain wastewater approval prior to issuance of a zoning permit. Staff are unaware of any reasons this should be a problem. 5) Two additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot, either in a garage or a driveway, or not in any areas required to meet coverage limitations, or any front yard other than a driveway, required by these Regulations. As illustrated on the site plan, these are provided. 6) If occupancy of the unit is to be restricted in the deed of the single-family home to a disabled person, no additional off-street parking is required. No such deed restrictions are proposed. This criterion does not apply. 7) A zoning permit shall be required for the accessory residential unit. A zoning permit is required.
