An accessory dwelling unit is a permitted use in this zone subject to use-specific standards 4.9.7.B.6, .8, .9 and 6.6.3. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed. 1. (Comment) The 1975 stamped site plan provided for 2001 N Rosemary Dr is not sufficient evidence to prove that the accessory structure was approved as a dwelling unit, as the structure is only indicated as an “out-building”. Please provide further permit documents indicating that the accessory structure was approved as a dwelling unit. 2. (Comment) If you cannot provide permit documents indicating that the accessory structure was approved as a dwelling unit, this permit will be considered a conversion from a previously approved accessory structure into an accessory dwelling unit, which will incur impact fees.
