AGENDA TITLE:
Title
Discussion of a minor amendment request to the R-18 CP SUP for Lot 3 Cheney Estates (SUP-20-08). 7171 E. Paradise Canyon Road (APN: 174-40-004)
Body
REQUEST:
The owner of Lot 3 Cheney Estates, Mr. Joel Schaller, is requesting that the Commission consider their request to amend the R-18 Cluster Plan Special Use Permit as a Minor Amendment as outlined in Section 1102.7 B. of the Zoning Code.
Background
BACKGROUND:
Specifics of Request:
The applicant is seeking a minor amendment to the SUP only for Lot 3 in order to allow an accessory shade structure to be built at a 15 foot rear setback and maintaining a 10 foot side setback.
The applicant has already constructed the desired shade structure (cantilevered lid) to cover their new outdoor kitchen and seating area adjacent to the new pool. This was done as part of their larger backyard landscape remodel. Although the rest of the backyard improvements were done with building permits and inspections by the Town, this shade structure was built without a building permit. The applicant is seeking to rectify their permitting mistake through the SUP minor amendment process followed by the building permit process and payment of fines.
The shade structure was built in the southeastern corner of the lot and does not abut any neighbor, building or lot. Rather, the shade structure was built on the side of the property which is adjacent to subdivision Tract C; with Scottsdale Road +135 away to the east and Cheney Drive 42 feet away to the south.
