(3) One (1) garden shed, provided that: Such sheds shall be constructed of materials and colors similar and/or complementary to the principal building; shall not utilize either corrugated fiberglass or metal siding or roofing; shall be no higher than twelve (12) feet in height; shall be utilized solely for storage of materials and equipment accessory to residential dwellings; and shall not be utilized for shelter or accommodation for animals of any kind. (4) One detached garage as a second garage on the property, under the following conditions: (a) The other garage structure is an attached garage. (b) The proposed detached garage meets all of the conditions of Section 903.020.D.2 of this Ordinance. (c) The total of all garage and accessory structure space on the property does not exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet. b. Conditional Use Permit. Beyond the limitations of Section 903.020.D.4. and 903.020.D.5 of this Ordinance, the construction of an additional garage structure, an additional accessory building, or an additional garden shed shall require the processing of a Conditional Use Permit subject to the provisions of Section 921 of this Ordinance. When a Conditional Use Permit is issued to exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet of garage and accessory building area, the parcel shall not be eligible for a detached garden shed as otherwise permitted by Section 903.020.D.5.a.(3) of this Ordinance. Any existing such sheds must be removed as a condition of the Conditional Use Permit. Additionally, the following provision under 903.020.D.4 regulates that: No accessory building or detached garage for a single family dwelling shall occupy more than twenty- five (25) percent of the area of the rear yard. The total floor area of a garage and other accessory buildings for a single family detached dwelling shall not exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area per lot, except by conditional use permit pursuant to Section 921 of this Ordinance. In no instance shall the total floor area of a garage and an accessory building for a single family dwelling exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet. No Conditional Use Permit shall be issued for detached accessory building or garage area of more than one thousand (1,000) square feet in which the accessory building and/or garage exceeds ten (10) percent of the rear yard. In this case, the combined square footage of the detached garage and accessory storage building are under the twenty-five (25) percent of the rear yard requirement (which would be 1,091 square feet). Again, the CUP requested is for two accessory detached structures with a square footage of up to 768 square feet (576 sq. ft existing detached garage + 192 sq. ft. accessory storage building). Lastly, the setback requirement for accessory buildings as required under 903.020.D.3 is ten (10) feet to a rear of side yard property line. The proposed location on the site plan indicates compliance with this provision. Accessory buildings in residential zoning districts shall not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height, shall not be closer than six (6) feet to any other building or structure on the same lot, and shall not be located within a public drainage, utility or access easement. Subject to other provisions as contained in this section, accessory buildings, uses and equipment may encroach into the required rear yard, but in no case shall an accessory building, use or equipment be located closer than ten (10) feet to a rear yard or side yard lot line except as may be specifically modified by this section or a specific use district.
