Miller M M <br />Chief, Current Development 'r <br />FROM: John W. McCoy�t` REFERENCES: thomas <br />Staff Planner JOHN <br />It 'is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of November 18, 1986. <br />PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION: <br />Richard Thomas has submitted a request to receive special excep- <br />tion approval to authorize the construction of a guest cottage <br />within the RS -6 zoning district. The special exception request <br />was accompanied by a request for minor site plan approval which <br />was granted -by the Technical Review Committee at the October 26, <br />1986 meeting, contingent upon approval of the special exception <br />use by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />Special exception uses are those types- of uses that would not <br />generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district. <br />However, when special exception uses- are carefully controlled as <br />to number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, <br />such uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, <br />comfort, good order, appearance, convenience, and general welfare <br />and as such would be compatible with permitted uses within the <br />particular zoning district. Special exceptions require submittal <br />of an approvable site plan meeting all site plan criteria, zoning <br />district criteria and the criteria set forth in the regulations <br />for the specific use. It is then the responsibility of the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend approval or denial to <br />the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County <br />Commissioners then takes final action based on the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission and staff recommendations, and may attach any <br />additional conditions they feel necessary to assure compatibility <br />with the surrounding properties. <br />The site plan shows a 600 square foot existing structure with a <br />proposed 384 square foot addition. This entire 984 square foot <br />structure would then be used as a guest cottage. The property is <br />located at 13855 Indian River Drive. <br />On November 13, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to <br />recommend that the Board of County Commissioners grant special <br />exception approval to the applicant. <br />ANALYSIS <br />1.
