The proposeC garage would have a sethack of only 2 feet from the south side propeRy line. The existing garage structure'has zero setback from the south side property line. Section 38.040 allows for the Planning Director to allow for the expansion of a structure which dces not meet required setbacks, provided that the expansion does not make the setback rnora nonconfortning; that the expansion complies with all other requirements of the zoning code ordinance; and that the nonconformity has been certified by the Planning Department. BACKGROUND: The prope�ty is located in the R-2, Single Family Residen6al Zone. The required setback is 5' from an interior side property line for a single family residence and accessory structu�es. There is an existlng garage accessory shucture on the site. The garage building is 18' wide by 20' deep and 360 sq.ft, in area. It is located on the south side property with zero setback. This structure was built in 1924 accobing to Snohomish Caunty Assessor's Records. This structure is considered legal non-confortning or'grandfathered" as it predates the Ciry's zoning code requirement for shuctures to have a minimum setback of 5 feet from a side properry line. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing garage and replace it with a new 22' wide by 24' deep garage. The new structure will have a 2' setback from the south side property line rather than a zero setback as the existing garage. It wiil be limited to a maximum height of 15'. FINDINGS: The existing garage has been certified as le�al nonconforming related to seffiacks(NCB #99-027). The applicant proposes to demolish the exis6ng structure and replace it with a new larger structure. The new structure will have a 2' setback from the side property line and will not create any further non-confortnities than presently exists. DECISION: The Planning Director has detertnined to allow for the proposed 22'wide by 24' deep garage building with a 2'setback from the south side property line with the following condition: • Necessary building pertnits are to be obtained by the applicant from the Ciry of Everett's Building Department.
