TO:Dick Benson« City Administrator <br />City Council <br />Planning Commission <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Alan P. Olson, City Planner <br />March 26, 1981 <br />Ordinance Revisions - Guest Houses and Duplexes <br />Existing Regulations <br />34.027 - allows guest houses by conditional use permit and defines it <br />as a separate dwelling on an undivided lot. All "regular <br />lot requirements" must be met. <br />30.040 - includes the same definition of a guest nouse as 34.027 <br />except here it is an accessory separate dwelling. <br />34.029 -allows duplexes by conditional use permit on any single lot <br />within 200 ft. of any commercial district. <br />Issues <br />1.There is no provision for attached guest houses, except if <br />regulated as duplexes. In-law apartments are popular and should <br />be includea. <br />2. The existing definitions are contradictory or vague. What are <br />"regular" lot requirements? lot area? setback? <br />3.Duplexes are allowed anywhere adjacent to commercial districts. <br />Is this beneficial or not? Should lot area be increased for <br />duplexes? Parking and other standards must be addressed. <br />4.What is the policy on sewer and water assessments and/or service <br />charges? <br />5.Separate guest houses often have been rented as apartments <br />and/or have been divided off onto separate lots. New reviews <br />should recognize this likelihood.
