Description/Background:
The applicant, Bryan Reilly, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to add an 18’6” high addition on the north side of his existing detached garage and to increase the amount of total square footage of accessory structures on this lot. The property is located at 1956 E. Brandon Park Place. The property is 0.36 acres (15,682 square feet), and is zoned, R-1-12. The property lies at the end of a cul-de-sac surrounded by single family homes zoned R-1-12.
Existing on the property is a 498 square foot, 18’6” tall detached garage. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition on the north side of the detached garage. The addition will add 485 square feet to the existing detached garage and will continue the 18’6” height. It is proposed, that the total square footage of the detached garage after the addition will be 983 square feet. There is another accessory structure on the northeast corner of the lot that is approximately 190 sq. ft. combined, both structures are over the allowable square footage for a 15,000 sq. ft. lot
Section 21-11-02(2)(a) of the Sandy City Land Development Code states that accessory structures in the rear yard of a lot 15,000 square feet to 19,999 square feet are allowed a maximum square footage of 1,000 square feet or 25% of the rear yard. The proposed garage would constitute 12% of the rear yard and total 983 square feet. The accessory structure on the northeast corner of the property is approximately 190 square feet. The total square footage of all structures on the property is 1173 square feet or 14 % of the rear yard. With a CUP the total square footage allowable is 1250 sq. ft.
Increased Height. Per Section 21-11-02(2)(d) of the Sandy City Land Development Code a building may be built taller, up to the maximum building height for a permitted dwelling within the zone in which it is located, upon receipt of a Conditional Use Permit from the Sandy City Planning Commission. In considering the height of the structure, the Planning Commission shall consider the scale of the building in relation to the immediate surroundings, the nature of the zone and land uses in the immediate vicinity, architectural design, landscaping, access, proposed use, impact upon adjacent properties, in addition to other criteria normally considered during the Conditional Use Permit process. The Planning Commission may require additional setback from the side and rear property lines as a condition of approval. The proposed height of 18’6” is within the allowable increase in an R-1-12 zoned property with Planning Commission approval.
