Current Request:
In residential districts, mOdel homes (sales offices) are permitted provided that, in addition
to 'its permanent use as a dwelling, such home maybe usedas a.tempo~'real estate office.
In this case, the temporary'sales office is proposed-to, be located first within a:modular office
unit and then within the facilities housing, recreational uses on the.request property: Since
the modular office unit n°r the planned recreati°nal facilities iare'dWeli~gs~ sales V~ould not ~
'be Permitted. This request seeks to permit the tempOrary sales .wi~-these structures.
Condition 1 establishes theSe uses as temporary.
The Zoning Ordinance further permits model homes (sales offiCes) in a residential, district
provided that the office only markets property within the~:development.where it is located;
the office is incidental to construction a~tiv~ty taking place wi~in the development;::th~
office is'nOt the primary real estate office for ~e c0ml~a~Ymarketing the deVelol~ment; >and,
the office is not used as a construction office'or for the storage of COnstruction equipment
and/or materials. Conditions are reCommended herewith to ensure.these restrictio~s'-~f:~the
Ordinance 'are met in this case. (Conditions 2;3 and 4)
CONCLUSIONS
While staff would not typically support the locati°n of a modular~office unit within a residential area
because it fails to be compatible with planned residentialdwellings, in this case approval of the
modular office .unit would be appropriate since use of the stmctare is:proposed temporarily. ~
Likewise, apProval of the model home. (sales office) within .the recreational .faCility woUld?be
appropriate since~use of the structure is prOposed temporarily and therefore~Would~not constitute ;the
permanent locatiOn of a sales office in a residential area. The;rec0~ended conditions are similar
Ordinance-standards for model homeS and further ensure the residential character of the surrounding
area will be maintained.
Given the foregoing, approval of this request is recommended.
