Request/Subject

Adoption of Resolution No. 12-01-02 for Conditional Use Permit 11-03 for William Wait

Background Information

William R. Wait, owner/applicant, has requested a Conditional Use Permit on Assessor's tax no. 301-03-038A for continued use of portion of the garage to be used as a guest house. Property is located at 9809 W. Fossil Creek in Strawberry, AZ. Parcel is 3.27 acres and has an existing home, garage and a barn. The property is currently zoned R1, which requires that a guest house be located on the rear half of the property with a use permit. The garage is located on the northeast corner of the property, and a portion has already been converted to a guest house.

Evaluation

The intent of R1 zoning is to promote the developme of single family dwellings and all other uses should be a complement to that use. The guest house meets the size limitations set by the Zoning Ordinance. Because of the size of neighboring prperties and the existence of a road along the east side of the property, the guest house does not adversely affect neighbors.

Conclusion

The existing guest house on the property does not impede the view of neighboring properties and is not any more dense than the surrounding neighborhood.

Recommendation

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on December 15, 2011, and recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit because the existing garage was already been converted into a guest house and can be in compliance through the Conditional Use Permit. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt Resolution No. 11-06-07 approving Planning and Zoning Case No. CUP-11-03 with four (4) conditions:

1. Building permits shall be obtained and the conversion of the portion of the garage into the guest house shall be inspected and approved by the Building Department.

2. Owner is responsible for the fees to have a document recorded to deed that prohibits the rental, lease or sale of the guest house.

3. If additional sanitary facilities for the guest house are necessary, they shall be designed, constructed and approved according to Wastewater Department regulations.

4. Violations of any of the previous conditions shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of this Conditional Use Permit.

Suggested Motion

Public Hearing - Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Resolution No. 12-01-02, which approves Gila County Planning & Zoning Department Case No. CUP-11-03, an application submitted by William R. Wait for a Conditional Use Permit on Gila County Assessor's tax parcel no. 301-03-038A, located at 9809 W. Fossil Creek, Strawberry, Arizona, to allow a portion of the existing garage to be used as a guest house. (Bob Gould)
