When the applicant attempted to get a permit to continue building the patio structure, Staff then discovered that the parcel was a legal non- conforming use. The applicant would like to continue make improvements to the home, however In order to allow the patio addition, the zoning would need to be changed to a residential district.

Consistency Analysis  In teims of consistency with the General Plan, the main conçern involves projects that pertain to specific locations in the City. In this respect, virtually all of the site-specific projects involve the repair and replacement of existing facilities, such as existing roads, facilitiès, and utilities. This is consistent with the General Plan's intent to support existing neighborhoods and accommodate Many projects are related to (and consistent with) key issues of the 2025 General Plan. For example, public safety is addressed through street upgrades. Projects for repair and rehabilitation of parks address the General Plan's goals to provide quality public recreational spaces for residents of the City. The integrity ofe existing neighborhoods and commercial development are further supported by the CIP's projects to replace or repair government facilities and make Consistency review in this report àpplies to high level, generalized project descriptions provided in the CIP.
