Origination Group:
Planning Commission

Petitioner:
Brandon and Kristine Watts
Staff Contact:
Tanner Holanen, Current Planner I
Location:
4709 Powderhorn Circle
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Major Amendment to a Planned Development Overlay to allow an accessory dwelling unit at 4709 Powderhorn Circle. The site is comprised of 0.22 acres of land zoned Low Density Residential District with a Planned Development Overlay and consists of a single family dwelling and a small accessory building. The accessory building is 79 square feet in size and located on the eastern portion of the property. The existing dwelling is 1,463 square feet in size with a gross floor area of 2,445 square feet and is two stories and 24.7 feet in mean height. The applicant is proposing to remodel the home to include an attached accessory dwelling unit on the western portion of the property. The proposed dwelling unit will be 406 square feet in size with a gross floor area of 1,197 square feet and will be two stories and 19 feet in mean height. A single car garage will be located on the ground floor and the second floor will consist of a bedroom/living room, bathroom and kitchen. As indicated by the applicant, the proposed dwelling unit is intended to be rented for tenancies longer than 28 days and will be used as seasonal rentals for traveling nurses or similar occupations during the fall and winter seasons and monthly use during the peak tourism season. As per 17.10.050.B.1 of the Rapid City Municipal Code, for dwellings two stories or more there shall be a side yard requirement of not less than 12 feet. When a structure is determined to be one story for a minimum distance of 12 feet from the side wall an eight-foot-wide side yard shall be allowed. This regulation has previously been determined that for two story dwellings an eight foot side yard setback is required to the one-story portion and a minimum of 12 feet is required between the sidewalls of the first and second story. Due to site constraints the applicant is requesting Exceptions to allow a 6.5-foot side yard setback to the first story of the accessory dwelling unit in lieu of eight feet and to allow a 10 foot side yard setback to the second story in lieu of 20 feet. In addition, during the review of this application, it was identified that the east side yard setback on the existing shed did not meet the minimum eight-foot requirement. This setback did not conform to the regulations at the time the shed was located on the property and is therefore non-conforming. All non-conformities associated with a property must be legally permitted or rectified before the issuance of a building permit.
