Burninator is correct, the city allowing a 2 story detached garage is basically nill. The best you can reasonable hope for is that they extend the maximum height by a few feet so you can put extra storage above the garage.

If you really want additional living space or a secondary suite in the garage, your best bet is to apply to put one below the garage. This involves putting a basement under the garage and getting an engineered floor put in for the vehicle pad. It's not necessarily easy, but it can be done.
