The proposed ordinance in its entirety is also enclosed. <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />The definition of 'accessory building' was amended to clarify that attached garages are <br />considered accessory buildings and that the primary accessory building would be the <br />attaohed garage or in the absence thereof, the initial detached garage constructed on a <br />property. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />The definition for 'lot, minimum area of' was amended to eliminate the ability to include <br />road right-of-way when determining lot areas in the rural district. <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />A del'tuition for 'Personal Services' was added to City Code. Some of our zoning districts <br />list 'Personal Services' as a permitted use. Code currently does not have a definition for <br />'Personal Services'. <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />Language was added to prohibit the showing for sale of more than one vehicle on property <br />not zoned for motor vehicle sales. <br /> <br />5) The ability to maintain one unlicensed vehicle on a property was retained. <br /> <br />6) <br /> <br />Upon the recommendation of the Building Official, Subdivision 3 of 9.11.02 was amended <br />so that the location of accessory buildings so as not to prohibit orderly resubdivision of the <br />propex~y becomes the responsibility of the property owner rather than the Building Official. <br /> <br />7) <br /> <br />It wasclarified that the maximum accessory building height regulations apply to detached <br />accessory buildings. <br /> <br />8) <br /> <br />For accuracy purposes, references to lot sizes were converted from in terms of acres to in <br />terms of square feet. <br /> <br />9) <br /> <br />The lot size threshold for having metal accessory buildings (pole buildings) was reduced <br />from 2.5 acres to approximately 2.29 acres, or 100,001 square feet as it is now referred to. <br /> <br />10) <br /> <br />A performance standard was added to require that any metal building (pole building) <br />constructed within 75 feet of a property line shall be designed with soffit, facia and eave <br />overhang. <br /> <br /> <br />
