I have attached information from the Cities zoning laws and made some
notes in Red.
1) First you will see the property is is a UR -2 zone which
allows for a single family home according to the chart.
2) Another chart table #2 states the principal use is a single
family. The accessory uses allowed are a temporary accessory
dwelling, not additional principal primary uses . (See
definition of principal building)
3) If there calling this another principal building then
according to zoning definition (see attached) it needs to be
located the closest to the front property line, and perhaps on
its own separate lot, which it is not proposed that way. Also, if
there saying they are allowed to have 2 principal one family
buildings on one lot then how come it is not considered a 2
family use? Then each would need 6,600 square feet and 60
feet of frontage for each home along a street. Other wise I
believe this would be considered a 2 family use on the
property which is not a permitted use. So, the key is what are
they calling this new building?
4) If they are calling this a temporary accessory dwelling then
it must be located within the existing building according to
the law, which it is not. (see definition)
So, in my opinion the way I read there zoning law I believe
there are some additional issues with this proposal which are
not spelled out in the cities letter of denial. Hopefully, this
provides some information in case you want to attend the
