[quote=AN]I’m confused. If there’s another house with the exact same floor plan and the exact same lot size and have 3 cars garage, what’s preventing them of approving a garage addition that make a 2 car garage into a 3 car garage? If it’s that hard to add a garage, then wouldn’t it be that much harder to add anything on those acreage lots?[/quote]
Setback and lot configuration, AN. You may not have it. Those houses already built with three-car garages in your area likely have some of the house built over the garage and use up less of a footprint than your “older” house does. The City has already invented the wheel on this issue and has handouts available to give you and probably put them in pdf form on its website. Check it out and get back to us.
Permitting and building a garage, workshop, gazebo, storage sheds, corral, barn, cabana or all seven of these on a 1-3 AC flat lot out in the unincorporated county is a completely different animal than what you are proposing here. Besides being subject to less regulation, these owners HAVE the land and you and I don’t. It’s as simple as that :=]
