The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The request to establish an attached second unit on the site conforms with the objectives and purposes of the Zoning Ordinance. A second unit is considered to be a single-family use which is allowed in the Ruby Hill Development. The second unit would be consistent with the character of the area because the applicant has proposed to attach the second unit integrally with the main structure and have the colors and materials of the unit match those of the main residence, so that the structure will appear to be one unit. In addition, a condition of approval requires that either the primary residence or the second unit be owner-occupied and that a maximnm of two adults reside in the second unit to maintain a low density and traffic volnme for the neighborhood.
