STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING ON A CHANGE TO THE ZONING TEXT
RE: A proposed amendment to Section 10A ( 5 ) (c ) of the
Zoning Ordinance. This amendment would add variance
provisions related to accessory buildings.
The subsection of the Zoning Ordinance which specifies they
size of accessory buildings currently reads as follows:
"A private residential garage used only for
the housing of non-commercial passenger
automobiles and with a floor area not to
exceed 450 square feet . An additional floor
area of 200 square feet may be provided for
each 3, 000 square feet of lot area by which
such lot exceeds 6,000 square feet , provided
no garage shall exceed 1,000 square feet nor
house more than five such automobiles. "
There are no exception or variance provisions.
The proposed amendment provides a variance provision which
allows the Board of Adjustment to authorize an accessory building
to contain a maximum of 1 , 500 square feet after making certain
findings . These findings are : the accessory building (a) will be
on a lot of four or more acres , (b) will be used to house the
owner° s personal vehicles , (c) will be in a rear yard, be at
least 50 feet from property lines and at least 250 feet from a
public street, and (d) the building materials used will minimize
the visual impact of the structure. The amendment also
authorizes the Board to impose conditions on the accessory
building.
The proposed amendment was reviewed by the Board of
Adjustment on October 13, 1987 . The Planning and Zoning
Commission, on October 8, 1987, voted unanimously to recommend
that this proposed amendment be adopted.
