1) A PUD application to establish site specific development standards for the water tank and future changes/additions/accessory structures; or 2) An application for a Conditional Use Permit that specifically addressed the relocation of the water tank. The installation of the water tank is considered an "interim use". These types of accessory structures can be constructed/instalied on a property zoned PUD only if one of the two processes is done as noted above. The letter requested that the applicant apply for one of the two options within 15-days or the water tank would have to be removed from the property. Please see Exhibit C for the correspondence from Code Enforcement to the applicant. On July 9, 2007, the applicant submitted a preliminary review application to the Planning Department to receive formal comments from the City, which would assist the applicant in determining what would be best for the water tank; a Conditional Use Permit or a Planned Unit Development application. Upon reviewing the preliminary application, the applicant's narrative stated that there was an existing 5,000-gallon wood water tank on the subject site and that the new poly tank was the same size and dimensions as the old one with the only change being the type of tank and location. The applicant provided pictures of the old wood tank and the new poly tank and an aerial view showing the location of the old tank in relationship to the location of the new tank and the well pump. The pictures are provided in Exhibit A. Staff's preliminary review outlined the two processes for the applicant to consider. A CUP would address the placement of the water tank, a PUD would address the tank and any other future development the applicant may consider. Please see Exhibit D for staff's preliminary review letter. On November 7, 2007 the applicant submitted an application for a conditional use permit to relocate and replace a 5,000-gallon wood tank with a new 5,000-gallon poly tank in the rear yard of the existing residence. Since the applicant opted to apply for a conditional use permit, it is before the Planning Commission for review and consideration. Staff notes that the conditional use permit will not require City Council review and/or action unless appealed. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is approximately 1.33 acres (57,738 square feet) in size, relatively flat and located on the south side of Sycamore Road, just off of Sycamore Creek Way. With the exception of the rear adjoining lot, all of the surrounding lots are zoned PUD-Agricultural; per the North Sycamore Specific Plan. The site currently has an approximately 900 square-foot single-story house and an existing detached barn as shown in the landscape picture below. The lot once had three additional accessory structures on site that have since been removed (Exhibit E). The applicant plans on continuing improve their home with additional site improvements.
