L._._._._._._._._._ L._._._._._. ._._._ With an Attached Garage With a Detached Garage Staff notes that there are many examples of 50 ft. wide lots with driveways on the side of the house leading to a detached garage in the rear of the lot. For example, on the west side of Second St. between Kottinger Dr. and Arendt St., where most of the 13 lots are 50 ft. wide, there is a driveway on the side of all of the homes except for the corner lot at Kottinger Dr. (which has a driveway on Kottinger Dr. and no driveway on Second St.). Options for Consideration The following are a few options that the Council may wish to consider and/or discuss: 1. Use the Task Force's recommendation without changes. 2. Change the Task Force's recommended greater than 60 ft. lot width for requiring a detached garage to 50 ft. (or another dimension the Council believes is appropriate). 3. Use the Task Force's recommended greater than 60 ft. lot width for requiring a detached garage and add language to encourage detached garages be located at the rear of lots on lots 60 ft. or less when feasible. 4. Keep the existing Specific Plan and Guideline language which encourages, but doesn't require detached garages be located at the rear of lots. Page 8 of 11
