1 <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6G <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: March 25, 2019 TOPIC: Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 05-19, Amending City <br />Code § 1007 Related to Multiple Principal Buildings on One Parcel, in Commercial, Industrial or Public/Semi-Public Zoning Districts <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br /> INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend City Code § 1007 to allow for multiple buildings on a single parcel in Commercial, Industrial, and Public/Semi Public Zoning <br />Districts. BACKGROUND Current City ordinance only allows for one principal building per lot. In commercial and <br />industrial zoning districts the size of accessory buildings is limited to 400 square feet. <br />Accordingly any expansion project which requires an additional building in excess of 400 square feet would require approval of a planned unit development. PUD’s may be done by rezoning in Industrial Districts and by either rezoning or Conditional Use Permit in <br />Commercial Districts. For a single use site, approval for multiple buildings may be more <br />appropriately handled through a Conditional Use Permit process. <br />City staff is proposing an ordinance change for the City Council’s consideration to simplify the process for single use expansion projects. ANALYSIS <br /> City Code defines the follow terms: <br />ACCESSORY BUILDING. A portion of the principal building or a detached structure on <br />the same lot which is used for an accessory use. <br />BUILDING, PRINCIPAL. A building in which is conducted the principal use of the lot <br />on which it is located. City Code §1007.042 (4)(b) states “except in an approved planned unit development that specifically allows it, provided for in §1007.024 of this Ordinance, not more than (1) principal <br />building shall be located on a lot”.
