Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a Conditional Use Permit to allow an oversized garage at 2102 Highwood Road. The property is comprised of 24.6 acres of land zoned Low Density Residential District and currently consists of a single-family dwelling, an outbuilding, and a detached garage. The single-family dwelling is 1,965 square feet in size and the outbuilding is 1,273 square feet in size, both of which were built in 1967. The detached garage is 598 square feet in size and was built in 1984. The applicant is proposing to construct a front-attached two-car garage that will be one story and 784 square feet in size. All existing and proposed developments are located on the western portion of the property. The garage 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 cumulative size of all existing and proposed areas dedicated to parking and storage is 2,655 square feet which exceeds the maximum size allowed by 1,155 square feet.
