FILE #LA18-000057 <br />17 Sept 2018 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />2. Staff has proposed to allow for Accessory Buildings (AB) to follow the nonconforming lot <br />width flexibility for side setbacks, but does not provide the same for Oversized <br />Accessory Buildings (OAB) and Accessory Structures (AS). Does the Planning <br />Commission wish to discuss this further or to explore other setback flexibilities? <br />3. The current City regulations would prohibit an AB/OAB to be located streetward of the <br />principal building. Staff would like Planning Commission feedback on this requirement. If <br />an AB or OAB meets the required principal building setback, and the principal building <br />(house) itself is set back further than the minimum, is it appropriate for the AB/OAB to <br />be closer to the street? What are the impacts, if any? <br />4. Some of the proposed changes, where setbacks have increased with this amendment, <br />may result in a significant number of existing buildings in the City becoming legal <br />nonconformities which would limit their expansion, etc. There is no inventory of the <br />accessory buildings so it would be unrealistic to have an accurate number. The Planning <br />Commission should discuss the potential impacts for property owners. <br />5. Private recreational facilities may warrant their own discussion for clarification. Private <br />recreational facilities are defined, and are listed in the zoning code as allowed accessory <br />uses within each Residential district. However, the definition and subsequent district <br />regulations may leave too much up to interpretation. See the following code language <br />as noted in each Residential district's Accessory Uses section: "Within any [..] residential <br />district, the only permitted accessory uses and structures are the following: (4) Private <br />recreational facilities subject to the pertinent accessory structure location and height <br />requirements of this chapter." <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br />Direction <br />The Planning Commission should reopen the Public Hearing and receive public comments. The <br />Commission should discuss the above topics and give Staff direction on the same. Any other <br />Planning Commission questions or concerns should also be discussed. Following direction given <br />the Planning Commission should table the application to a future meeting. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
