CASE ;J~ENE~ENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, ACCESSORY USES (Par. 170.014B City Code ) and BLIGHT AND NUISANCE ORDINANCE: Listed below is the article sent to the City Council for their review at their August 28, 1978 meeting. They are asking for your comments, recommendations, etc. to be sub- mitted back to the Council as required in accordance with- 170.019B subparagraph 2 of the City Code in order that a public hearing date can be set. The City Staff was directed to review and make recommend- ations to the City Council on Home Occupation and Accessory Use as the enfo~.cemen% of it as contained in the present City ordinance: Findings: The enforcement/control of home occupations is satisfactorily covered by the present City Code (Par. 170.O14E City Zoning Ordinance). However, we do recommend an'amend- ment to the present 'City Code in regards to paragraph 170.O14B Assessory Uses of the Zoning Ordinance. We recommend the following amendment to Zoning Ordinance, "Attached garage not to be considered an.accessorybuilding. Accessory building not to exceed '120 square feet all zoning areas and be a standard wood frame building or steel building on a concrete foundation." "Accessory Use shall not include the on site storage or park- ing of trucks over one (1) ton or unlicensed equipment, loaders, cement mixers, backhoes and similar types of construction and excavation equipment, also including storage of inventory and raw building material (six mo~th grandfather of present operators)." Council action if.they desire to amend the zoning ordinance would be to call for public hearing in accordance with para- graph 170.O19B. New Subject: The staff further recognizes the need for a Nuisance and Blight Ordinance and that subdivision code should require that all new subdivisions contain covenance that would cover home occupations, accessory use and accessory building. This proposed ordinance is being prepared by the City Attorney. Please refer ~o enclosure (9) Building Inspectors memo on accessory building.
