Request: "On 1/29/19, BCC approved w/Conditions.

Decision: Approved

Hearing: "Staff noted that the subject property was part of a Planned Development, noting the required setbacks and the fact that the homes could be up to 3 stories tall. It was also noted that the homes in this community had a width which virtually filled the building envelope. Staff also provided a history of how the Zoning Code dealt with permanent generators, noting that in 2016 the setback for generators alongside the residence was reduced from 30 ft. to 10 ft. Staff then explained the noise level which the newer generators such as that proposed had dropped significantly from the older models, and even more so than portable generators. Staff concluded that sufficient area exists behind the pool cage to locate the generator in accordance with code.
