SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness to allow
the construction of a metal accessory building at 2390 North
FILE: CA-1061
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request.
Juan Jaimes is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to allow the
construction of a 24' x 40' metal accessory building in the rear yard
of his property at 2390 North.
The Historic District regulations state that a prefabricated metal
accessory building is permitted if they are completely screened from
view from any abutting street. Mr. Jaimes states that he would like
to construct a 24' x 40' metal garage in the northeast corner of his
property. Mr. Jaimes states that he would construct a 6' screening
fence around the rear yard. The building, as proposed, would be 10'
tall at the eave and 15' tall at the peak of the roof.
While some larger metal buildings have been permitted in the Oaks
Historic District, these buildings have been part of commercial
businesses and were subject to additional conditions to so that they
complemented the business and surrounding properties. This metal
building would be in the middle of a residential neighborhood and
would detract from the subject property as well as surrounding
properties.
Exhibits are attached.
