MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, September 19, 2022 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 9 of 9 <br /> <br />Staff presented a summary packet of information. Oakden stated Staff is proposing a text amendment to <br />accessory building height, specifically in the rural RR1A and RR1B districts. Currently the City Code <br />limits maximum building height for accessory buildings to 30 feet defined height in each zoning district <br />and states further that accessory buildings may not exceed height of principal building on the property. <br />This becomes a challenge for properties in rural districts with ranch/rambler homes where it is very <br />common to want a pole-barn or barn-type outbuilding. This Code limits that availability to the rural <br />district. From a previous application earlier in the summer where the City saw a variance, a text <br />amendment was discussed by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Staff recommends approval <br />as drafted. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br />Kraemer moved, Peterson seconded, to approve LA22-000048 Text Amendment Related to <br />Maximum Accessory Building Height within Rr-1A and Rr-1B Rural Zoning Districts.
