Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance for Zoning Application No. Z0926-0463 submitted by Ernest Medrano, for a change of zoning from Agricultural to Agricultural with a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), with modifications to increase the maximum allowable area from 1,000 square feet to 1,264 square feet and to allow the ADU to be located in front of a new single-family home rather than in the rear yard, located at 2185 Mesquite Valley Road.
(No responses in favor or in opposition to the application have been received from property owners within the statutory notification area. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with certain stipulations.)
Body
The property owner is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to retain the existing 1,264-square-foot home on the front portion of the 2.33-acre Agricultural-zoned property as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for family members while constructing a new 4,040-square-foot primary residence toward the rear of the property. The existing home was built in 1948, and the applicant has invested more than $70,000 in permitted renovations. The request includes two modifications to the City's ADU requirements: allowing the existing home to remain in front of the new primary residence as an ADU and increasing the maximum ADU size from 1,000 to 1,264 square feet. The proposed layout includes seven non-tandem parking spaces, with two serving the ADU and five serving the new residence.
On October 26, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the request, with stipulations.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, City staff recommends that the City Council take action.
