MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JUNE 13, 1996 <br />AMEND <br />ZONING CODE <br />RELATING <br />TO CUP'S FOR <br />ACCESSORY <br />BUILDINGS <br />TEXT <br />AMENDMENT - <br />PUB <br />PERMITTED <br />USES <br />The City Planner reported that the Council has <br />proposed an amendment to the Zoning Code establishing <br />a limitation of 1,500 total square feet as the <br />maximum amount of garage and accessory building area. <br />The ordinance currently requires a Conditional Use <br />Permit for total garage and accessory building area, <br />attached or detached, exceeding 1,000 square feet. <br />While there is a minimum requirement for a CUP, there <br />is no maximum requirement. <br />Keis asked what would happen if a property owner wanted <br />1,600 square feet of garage and accessory building <br />space. <br />The Planner pointed out that the property owner would <br />have to request a variance. <br />Keis indicated he personally thought this amendment was <br />something the City did not need, pointing out that <br />while an upper limit of 1,500 square feet would be <br />established, if someone wanted 1,600 square feet they <br />could request a variance. <br />The Planner pointed out the issue was raised when Mr. <br />Battista requested at least 1,800 square feet of <br />additional accessory space in addition to the two -level <br />double -car garage he currently has. The Planner <br />pointed out the Code sets no standards which say a <br />building is either too big or too small. The Planner <br />felt the City needed a size standard on which to deny a <br />CUP. <br />Montour recommended approval of the proposed amendment <br />to the Zoning Code relating to Conditional Use Permits, <br />establishing a limitation of 1,500 total square feet <br />for combination of garage and accessory building area. <br />Motion seconded by DeLonais. <br />In favor - Montour, DeLonais. Opposed - Keis, Carson. <br />The City Planner reported that the City Administrator <br />raised a concern that all permitted uses in the City's <br />other zoning districts roll over as permitted uses in <br />the PUD District. While this is addressed in the Comp <br />Plan update and the Development Guide, the Comp Plan <br />has not yet been adopted. Therefore, there is the <br />12 <br />Page 87 <br />
