One garden shed is typically permitted as a part of the accessory building allowance on residential lots. In reviewing the ordinance after the meeting, however, it was confirmed that the issuance of a CUP for larger garage area creates a special condition under the following provision: 903.020.D.5. b. Conditional Use Permit. Beyond the limitations of Section 03.020.D.4. and 903.020.D.5 ofthis 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 ofthis Ordinance. YVhen a Conditional Use Permit is issued to exceed oue thousand (1,000) square feet of garage and accessory building area, the parcel shall not be eligible for a detached garde~a shed as otherwise permitted by Section 903.020.D.S.a.(3) ofthis Ordinance. Any existing such sheds must be removed as a condition of the Conditional Use Permit. Under this clause, a condition of approval of the new CUP must be that the existing garden shed be removed. The intent of the amendment was to allow for the larger accessory building area on a parcel in exchange for less small building clutter on residential lots. This condition should be included with any approval of the CUP.
