current ordinance includes a definition of Agricultural Farm Building, and staff is <br />proposing to amend that definition to reference state statutes. Additionally, staff <br />is recommending amending general provision number one to also reference that <br />same state statute. <br />Staff is recommending striking the general provisions prohibiting businesses in <br />garages, as the ordinance was recently amended to allow this to occur. <br />Staff is also recommending adding a general provision allowing fabric /vinyl <br />canopies, while counting them towards the accessory structure area and number <br />requirements, and another general provision allowing gazebos to not be counted <br />towards area and number requirements under certain conditions. <br />SUBDIVISION D.2: SPORTS COURTS: <br />Staff is recommending revising sports courts to clearly define them as exterior <br />only, as was interpreted by staff and confirmed by the City Council in 2009. The <br />language requiring Conditional Use Permits was also removed as sports courts <br />are residential only. Recreation Facilities is the term used throughout the <br />commercial zoning districts to cover this similar type of use. <br />Staff is also recommending amending that definition of sports court contained in <br />Section 1, Subdivision 2. <br />SUBDIVISIONS D.3 THROUGH D2 : SWIMMING POOLS, HOUSEBOATS, <br />ICE FISHING HOUSES, DOCKS AND BOAT LAUNCHES, ROADSIDE <br />STANDS, DOMESTIC ANIMAL SHELTERS <br />Staff does not recommend any changes to these sections. <br />SUBDIVISON D.9 : RURAL AND RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY BUILDINGS: <br />AREA ALLOWANCE ANALYSIS: <br />The draft ordinance proposes a simplification of the ordinance, while granting <br />properties a more equitable allowance of accessory building area. Staff is <br />proposing to have four distinct property size categories, and within those <br />categories there will be a minimum allowance and a percentage of lot size <br />allowance. The percentage of lot size allowance will be capped with a maximum <br />to make sure properties will not exceed the minimum allowed in the next level. <br />20 acres or greater <br />No maximum <br />10 to less than 20 acres <br />10,000 s.f. <br />or <br />1.85% up to 15,000 s.f. <br />5 to less than 10 acres <br />5,000 s.f. <br />or <br />2.21% up to 10.000 s.f. <br />Less than 5 acres <br />1.200 s.f. <br />or <br />3.75% up to 5,000 s.f. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
