ADU conditional use permit at 9608 Titan Drive
CUP for a 1,024 sq ft, 2-bedroom accessory dwelling unit in a converted detached garage in R-4, Neighborhood Form District, 0.28 acres. Relief requested from LDC 4.3.27 items B (800 sq ft maximum, exceeded by 224 sq ft) and J (owner occupancy; the property is owned by Meyer Build LLC). Neighbors opposed the request. The motion to approve, with a modified affordability condition, tied 3-3 (Horton, Ford and Hozos voted no). The board then unanimously continued the case to the business session on 2026-09-14, with no new testimony, so the absent member can review the record and vote.
