FROM: PDSD Zoning Review

PROJECT: T21CM09615
1424 N Brown Ave – RX-1
Permit Existing Detached Garage (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL December 29, 2021

This site is located in the RX-1 zone (UDC 4.7.6). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-1) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .8, & .9.

The following comments are based on the garage remaining detached from the main dwelling and a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required:
1. Per Unified Development Code (UDC) Article 6.6.3.B Detached accessory buildings are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and the front street lot line , except for terraces and steps not over three feet high above the natural grade , paved areas, and fences or walls. As N Brown Ave is a named street therefore Brown is considered the front of this parcel. A line is drawn along the west end of the existing house to determine the front yard area. This line extends north to the northeast property line and south to the south property line. Any structure west of this line is considered to be within the front yard.

2. Per UDC Article 6.6.3.C Accessory structures shall not exceed 12 feet in height, unless attached to a principal structure. The garage exceeds the allowed height for a detached accessory structure.

3. Per UDC Article 6.6.3.D The total gross floor area (gfa) of all accessory structures shall not exceed 50% of the gfa of the principal structure. Accessory structures less than 200 square feet gfa are exempt from this requirement. If the garage is to remain as shown on the plan provide a calculation on the plan that demonstrate the percentage of detached accessory structures, this calculation shall include the garage, conex/ramada structure and the tack room/ramada structure. If the total is greater than 50% of the gross floor area of the residence a Board of Adjustment for Variance is required.

The following comments are based on the garage being attached to the main dwelling with a structural element that is a minimum 5’-0” wide and can support a 20 pound live load:
4. Per UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1 the street perimeter yard setback is 20 feet or one and one-half the height of the proposed wall (H), measured from the street property line, whichever is greater. Perimeter yard setbacks are based on a measurement from design grade to the highest point of the exterior wall UDC Article 6.4.5.B & Figure 6.4.5-A. Based on a wall height of 15’-8” the required street perimeter yard setback is 23’-6”, proposed setback is 4’-0”. A Design Development Option (DDO) would be required for a street perimeter yard setback.

Additional comments:
5. The conex/ramada structure shows up on aerial photos some time after 2015. Zoning was not able to find approved permit documents for this structure. Either provide approved permit documents or include this structure in this permit.
