Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 0.94 acres from GU (General Use) to SR (Suburban Residential) to have a zoning classification that is consistent with the subject property's lot size.

A building permit has been submitted, under 25BC12722, to replace the accessory structure located near the southern property line. The replacement building will meet the 10' setbacks required in the SR zoning. The large storage accessory structure to the west exceeds the allowed size limitation. The applicant will need to apply for a variance to retain the structure or remove it. The third structure viewed on the survey marked carport is a pole structure with a tarp type roof and not a fixed accessory building.
The GU zoning classification and RES 2 FLU designation are original to the property. The subject property meets the minimum size, lot width, and depth requirements for the proposed SR zoning classification.
