A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (UDC Table 4.8-1 subject to special exceptions 4.9.7.B.6., .8 &.9). RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Please correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed. * Staff note that the exterior of this project was approved by Historic via SD-0624-00060 when TC-RES-p624-03542 was first proposed. The current application for TC-RES-0926-04957 does not suggest any exterior changes have been approved through this new permit. 1. Revise the site plan. Sheet 1 contains a ‘Foundation Key Notes’ section with the first item being the proposed garage/recreation room remodel. This item is not shown on the site plan. Instead, Item #3 is shown as an existing dwelling, which should be the proposed project. This project shows as an existing garage on the plans submitted for SD-0624-00060 and the related building permit, TC-RES-0926-04957. Please see Comment 2, below, and revise this note to reflect its use. 2. The proposal is for a garage and rec-room remodel. As proposed, Sheet 2 now shows the use to be that of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) containing a full kitchen. ADU’s are assessed impact fees. If the intent is to avoid impact fees, the space can be renamed a guest or sleeping quarters providing the stove and full refrigerator are removed. An under the counter refrigerator may be used in a sleeping quarters, but a stove may not. Furthermore, an ADU may exceed the 12’ height requirement per Unified Development Zone (UDC) 6.6.3.d. whereas a sleeping quarter must not have a height exceeding 12’ without a variance from the Board of Adjustment. 3. On Sheet 2 of the demo/construction plans, under Floorplan Notes #4, please clarify whether the stairs leading to the second story over the shop are external. 4. Only if the intent of the project is to be a sleeping quarters, apply for a Board of Adjustment variance.
