152.176 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. (A). The following Accessory Buildings shall be allowed as permitted uses, subject to the requirements of Table 152.176.(I): 1. R-1 and R-1A, Single Family Zones: a. One (1) Attached Garage. b. One (1) Detached Garage or One Accessory Building- Major greater than 200 square feet in floor area. No more than two garages, (only one of which may be a detached garage), shall be allowed on any single family parcel. c. One (1) Accessory Building–Minor no greater than 200 square feet in floor area meeting the requirements of this ordinance. d. Accessory uses which are not accessory buildings, including swimming pools, hot tubs, play structures, animal shelters of less than 36 square feet in area, and landscape elements that do not provide any shelter for human occupancy, provided all other conditions and performance standards are met. e. Setback from Other Principal Buildings. Unless attached to and made a part of the principal building, no eave or other portion of an accessory building may be closer than 5 feet from any eave or other portion of a principal or accessory building. f. Design. All accessory buildings constructed after the construction of the principal building must be designed and constructed in a manner consistent with the design and general appearance of the principal building. Accessory buildings constructed primarily of canvas, plastic fabric, or other similar non-permanent materials shall be prohibited. 2. Attached and Multi-family Buildings. Attached and multi- family buildings in the R-2, R-3 and R-4 districts are allowed one Accessory Building-Major of up to 500 square feet in area, and one Accessory Building-Minor of 200 square feet or less per complex, plus detached garage structures as needed to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for off-street parking. 3. Commercial or Industrial Districts. No accessory building in a commercial or industrial district shall exceed the height of the principal building except by conditional use permit. The proposed text reorganizes Section 176 to identify the allowed accessory buildings/uses by Zoning District or land use (in Section A). Section A.1. specifies the regulations for each group of Single Family parcels: One attached garage; One Garage or Accessory Bldg- Major (more than 200 sf); One Accessory Bldg-Minor (200 sf or less). Additional sections regulate other aspects of these buildings and uses in the Single Family districts. Section A.2. identifies the regulations for attached residential buildings and complexes – essentially one 500 sf building (a two-car garage sized structure); and one Minor building (such as a garden shed). Section A.3. sets the height requirement for Accessory Buildings in Commercial and Industrial Districts. 85
