occurred within the 2015 MSBC that are prompting this proposed Ordinance Amendment. <br /> Specifically, the thresholds triggering a building permit for detached accessory buildings and <br /> fences have increased and thus, the standards within Zoning Code need to be updated to ensure <br /> that there is not contradictory language between the two codes. The proposed amendments are to <br /> City Code Sections 117 -111 (R -1 Residential District) and 117 -349 (Accessory Uses and <br /> Buildings). Staff reviewed the matter further and recommended adoption of Ordinance #15 -06. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Chairperson Levine inquired if a detached accessory structure would require a driveway. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated this would not be required as proposed within the Ordinance. <br /> Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Bauer, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried.
