01/25/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT ZONING REVIEW TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Wyatt Berger
Lead Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-0124-00278
5326 East 4th Street – R-1
Enclose carport into living room (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: January 25, 2024

Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

The site is in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a permitted use in the R-1 zone, subject to use-specific standards 4.9.7.B.5-.9.

1. A rear porch, attached to the existing residence, was constructed after 2019 without prior zoning approval. The plan set associated with approved T19CM05274 indicated that this porch was to be submitted under a separate submittal. Provide permit documentation for this rear porch or include this porch within the scope of work of TC-RES-0124-00278.

2. The lot coverage calculation provided is incorrect and should include the entire vehicular use area in addition to the existing shed. Porches are excluded from the lot coverage calculation (UDC 6.4.3.C.1.a). Lot coverage shall not exceed 70% (UDC Table 6.3-2.A).

3. Demonstrate compliance with use-specific standard 4.9.7.B.7 by providing a floor plan of the existing residence. It is unclear whether the existing living room may be converted into a bedroom.

For any new single-family dwelling the R-1 zone with five bedrooms, three parking spaces are required. For every bedroom over five, one additional space is required for each bedroom. For all single-family dwellings in the R-1 zone with five or more bedrooms, all parking spaces must be located on-site, either in a side or rear perimeter yard. Parking spaces may not be located in a vehicular use area in any front street perimeter yard. An existing covered residential parking area may be used.

Per UDC 11.4.3, the term bedroom includes all of the following: 1) Any room that is designated as a bedroom; 2) Any enclosed room that has a minimum of 60 square feet and has an accessible opening to the exterior of the building in compliance with the International Building Code (IBC), whether termed a studio, family room, study, den, bonus room, or any other name, except for a living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms; and 3) Any room designated as a bedroom for the purpose of any other code requirement.
