Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use Permit to allow an oversized garage at 859 Valley Drive. The property is comprised of 1.24 acres of land zoned Low Density Residential District and currently consists of four storage sheds. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing storage sheds and construct a two-story 2,248 square-foot single-family home facing the south property line. The dwelling will have a gross floor area of 3,180 square feet and will have an 872 square-foot covered porch along the west and south walls. The home will have a front attached garage that will be 2,255 square feet in size with two overhead doors on the south wall. The garage will be one story or 20.6 feet in height and will not be used for commercial purposes or as a second residence. Chapter 17.04.315 of the Rapid City Municipal Code states that the maximum cumulative allowable size of all private garages shall be 1,500 square feet or 30% of the size of the gross floor area of the dwelling unit, whichever is greater. For this property, 1,500 square feet exceeds 30% of the gross floor area of the dwelling unit, therefore, all buildings dedicated to parking or storage which exceed a cumulative size of 1,500 square feet may only be allowed as a Conditional Use Permit. The 2,255 square-foot garage is 577 square feet over the maximum allowable size. This area was annexed into the City on July 29, 2008. Pennington County does not have restrictions pertaining to accessory building size. As a result, several properties in the vicinity exceed the maximum requirement outlined in the Rapid City Municipal Code and are therefore legal non-conforming.
