The other concerns with pools however relate to their status as accessory structures* and staff feels that they have been and should continue to be treated as accessory structures for setback purposes. There is a concern however that with both tennis courts and pools* they should not be subject to the floor area restrictions unless they are intended to be •enclosed", which staff would define as having a roof and opaque walls. fiSUl X. Pefining Total Floor Area. Again this discussion may not bring up specific issues but is intended to perhaps clarify the definition of total floor area as it relates to accessory structures. An accessory building that contains a basement and 1 floor above it on a footprint of 20’x30* actually would contain 1,200 s.f. of floor area, even though it nay have a relatively small footprint and meet the height requirements. Similarly, an accessory building with a g»AiA level and a second storv would have a floor area equivalent to the sum of the areas of the 2 floors. In the case where there is a "story and a half" situation, in the upper level, which may include storage space* only the portion that has a ceiling height of 5' or more is considered as floor area (per tne Building Code) for purposes of the ordinance amendments discussed herein. WART - 1. Staff recommends adoption of a maximum impervious surface lot coverage of 40% of gross lot area in all residential zoaes not subject to exi 'ting LR hardcover standards. 2. Staff recommends that a standard for these same properties limiting the maximum lot coverage by buildings be adopted per the table presented. 3. Staff recommends adoption of a maximum allowed accessory structure height of 18' as measured per the UBC definition. Staff further recommends that heights up to 30' as defined per UBC be allowed in the 2-acre and 5-acre zones only if that accessory structure meets the principal structure setbacks. (This can be adopted either as an allowed use or as a conditional use.) ■'■'yy/y- ■ ■ • :• ■ ■ . .. . ;v.’. .-•i , 3^' : - r-:. }.;■ •.'■= ■=;»■ ■ ■•• ■ ■ . "S"' • Vk--"./.
