NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission that: Section 1. In accordance with SCC ~ 15.10.320 (D), the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the applicant's request for a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow a tri-plex in the Auto Commercial District and made the following findings of fact and conclusions: A. The use is consistent with the purpose of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district. Zoning The property is zoned Auto Commercial (AC). The AC district is intended to accommodate highway-oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential areas, and which do materially detract from nearby residential areas. A multi-family dwelling of three or more is allowed in the AC district by Conditional Use Permit. Setbacks None of the required building setbacks are met on the property, however, since the building was constructed in 1952, prior to the adoption of any city or borough zoning codes, it is considered nonconforming and permitted to continue within the limits of sec O;:JPW.

The proposed use is in harmony with the Seward Comprehensive Plan. This is a situation where the Zoning allows the proposed use, however the use is not in harmony with the property's Land Use Plan designation of Two-Family Residential. However, the proposal is in harmony with the Seward 2010 Comprehensive Plan as follows: Land Use Goal: Maintain Seward's Land Use Plan as the primary local tool to ensure quality community land use arrangements, growth and development to the year 2010. The Plan states that "Developable Land In Seward Is Scarce Yet There Is A Desire To Accommodate As Much Projected Demand For Housing As Possible Within the City Limits In Order To Ensure Sound Community Growth and Development," and recommends continuing every effort to encourage the development of affordable housing for Seward's growing housing needs -- including single- and multi-family housing units. Although the Plan recommends continuing to require landscaping plans as part of conditional use permits, since this property is already very well landscaped, the administration does not recommend this as a condition of the CUP. D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed site. Adequate water, sewer, and power are available to the property as well as adequate fire, police and solid waste disposal services. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. The building construction will meet the requirements of the Uniform Building and Fire Codes. There is no evidence that the proposed multi-family development will be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above- mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects to the proposed use. Based on the above findings the administration recommends approval of the CUP subject to the following conditions: 1. Replat the property in order to vacate the interior lot lines between Lots 21-24, Block 25, Original Townsite of Seward. City Code states that no building, except a single-family residence, may be constructed across platted property lines. 2. As required by SCC ~ 15.10.215, Subsection H, the parking area against the north lot line shall be separated from the adjacent residential lot by a fence or hedge not less than four feet or more than six feet in height. This fence or hedge must be completed within one year of the date of the CUP. <1~~C: "', .,-. (;' ~'~~~~~:~~' .'< _~ . I,"'" o Il. \ ''';.1'' f:1 :.:; t--~ .\,,~",~ : ::: . ..
