Chapter 38 of the Zoning Ordinance requires approval of a conditional use permit to relocate an existing structure to a lot within the City. A public hearing has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 17 June 2019 at 7:00 PM to consider the application. Exhibits: ■ Site location ■ Site exhibit ANALYSIS Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-3, Residential Long Range Urban Service District. The proposed single family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-3 District. Single Family Dwelling Standards. Section 11-17-11 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines minimum design standards for single family uses, which apply to this proposed house. These requirements include a perimeter foundation, minimum dimensions of 30 feet by 24 feet, a shingled roof, and minimum overhangs of one foot. The existing house complies with these requirements. Building Code. The relocation of an existing structure to a lot within the City requires that the building comply with applicable requirements of the Building Code. A building permit is required to be issued prior to relocation of the structures and any non-compliant Building Code issues will be required to be updated as a condition of a certificate of occupancy. Section 11- 38-3.E of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the relocated structures be placed on the lot and a certificate of occupancy issued within 6 months from the date a building permit is issued. City staff recommends this requirement be included as a condition of approval. Lot Standards. The following table illustrates required performance standards for single family lots and dwellings in the R-3 District. The subject site is a 0.94 acre lot with 150 feet of width at the front setback line from Ochoa Avenue. Although the lot has less than the minimum area required within the R-3 District, there is adequate area within the lot to accommodate a single family dwelling within required setbacks. A certificate of survey confirming the location of the house upon the lot will be required with the building permit application.

These systems are subject to review and approval of the Building Official. Security. Section 11-38-4 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that a security is to be posted for the relocation of existing structures. This security is required in part to cover any costs that may be incurred by the City due to damage during the relocation, as well as encourage completion of the project in a timely manner. The City requires an escrow of $5,000.00 for this purpose to be provided at the time the building permit is issued. Criteria.
