REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF – NONE. 13 14 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 15 16 A. Ordinance 2021-02; an Ordinance amending Chapter 152 or the St. Anthony city code, as 17 it relates to accessory buildings requirements, uses and definitions. 18 19 City Planner Grittman reviewed City Staff is proposing an amendment to the City’s Accessory 20 Building regulations that impact a series of current zoning ordinance sections, including changes 21 to the Zoning Ordinance Definitions (Section 152.08), and an overhaul of the Accessory 22 Buildings text (Section 152.176). 23 24 A public hearing was held at the Planning Commission meeting to invite public comment and 25 there was no public comment offered. The Planning Commission passed a recommendation to 26 adopt the amendments, with one change to the staff item receiving the majority of the discussion. 27 That change relates to the allowable size of a detached garage (or “Accessory Building-Major”) 28 on a single-family parcel. The existing ordinance includes conflicting requirements, which the 29 proposed amendment would resolve. As currently written in the Definitions section, a “Garage” 30 is allowed to be up to 1,000 square feet in floor area, while in the Accessory Building section of 31 the code, such garages are limited to 750 square feet or 80% of the floor area of the principal 32 building. Mr. Grittman provided the language changes in a power point presentation. A table 33 containing the setbacks, maximum square feet within different zones, and maximum height. 34 35 Staff recommends Council adopt the proposed zoning ordinance amendment related to 36 Accessory Buildings and Uses. 37 38 Councilmember Jenson asked if chicken coops fall under the smaller buildings. Mr. Grittman 39 stated a clause was included for pet enclosures that are less than 35sf. 40 41 Mayor Stille stated he feels the 1000sf is a little bold but doesn’t know where that would come 42 into play with setbacks and lot coverage. Mr. Grittman stated the Planning Commission made a 43 point that expanding an existing garage size would be better that outside storage of items that 44 should be stored in a garage. 45 46 5
