ANALYSIS
Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-3, Residential Long Range Urban Service District
where the proposed single family dwelling is a permitted use.
Building Code. The relocation of existing structures to lots within the City of Otsego
requires that the building comply with applicable requirements of the Building Code.
The applicant has been working with the Department of Building Safety to obtain a
building permit prior to relocation of the structure. Given that the structure is new
construction no issues are anticipated but conformance with the Uniform Building Code
should be made a condition of any approval, subject to review and approval of the
Building Official.
Lot Standards. The following table illustrates required performance standards for
single family lots and dwellings in the R-3 District. As indicated, the subject property
and proposed location of the relocated single family house shown on the site plan will
conform to applicable performance standards. A certificate of survey confirming the
location of the house upon the lot will be required with the building permit application.
Single Family Dwelling Standards. Section 20-17-11 of the Zoning Ordinance
outlines minimum design standards for single family uses, which apply to this
application. These requirements include a perimeter foundation, minimum dimensions
of 30 feet by 24 feet, a shingled roof, and minimum overhangs of one foot. Based upon
the dimensions of the house being 50 feet x 30 feet as shown on the preliminary site
plan, the structure is in conformance with these requirements,
Utilities. The proposed house will be served by an on-site septic system and well in

posted for the relocation of existing structures. This security is required in part to cover
any costs that may be incurred due to damage during the relocation as well as
encourage completion of the project in a timely manner. The City has required an
escrow of $5,000.00 for this purpose, which must be provided at the time the building
permit is issued.
Criteria. In considering CUP applications, the Planning Commission and City Council
must also take into consideration the possible effects of the building relocation based
upon (but not limited to the criteria established by Section 20-4-21 of the Zoning
Ordinance.,
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The Comprehensive Plan includes the policy that the character of
individual neighborhoods shall be reinforced, maintained and upgraded. The
relocation of this newly built single family dwelling meeting all applicable
requirements of the Building Code and Zoning Ordinance to a vacant lot in this
neighborhood is consistent with this policy.
