LA18-000057 TEXT AMENDMENT: ACCESSORY BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES <br /> SETBACKS,ORDINANCE NO. ,AND SUMMARY ORDINANCE NO. <br /> Curtis reviewed the draft ordinance regarding proposed changes for Accessory Building and Structure <br /> setbacks. Currently there are many specific rules for accessory structures and buildings based on their <br /> size,the zoning district, lakeshore lot versus non-lakeshore lot, lot size, and location of the lot. These <br /> regulations have evolved over time and have become difficult to understand. In addition,the terms <br /> structure and building, although defined differently,are used interchangeably within the regulations. <br /> The Planning Commission has been working on this amendment since June. The code has been <br /> reorganized so that a user can find the majority of the information regarding principal building,accessory <br /> buildings, and accessory structure setbacks within the specific zoning district sections. Additional <br /> modifications were made in the Accessory Buildings and Structures and Non-encroachment sections. At <br /> their October meeting,the Commission reviewed and discussed the draft ordinance. The Planning <br /> Commission voted 7-0 to approve the proposed ordinance. <br /> Further,the Planning Commission opened a discussion and the public hearing at their June meeting <br /> regarding this text amendment. The text amendment was discussed and the public hearing was continued <br /> at each of the subsequent Planning Commission meetings. At the October meeting the Commission <br /> reviewed and discussed the draft ordinance provided by Staff. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 on a <br /> motion to approve the proposed ordinance. No comments from the public were received during the <br /> public hearings. <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
