The concern is with the amenities resulting <br />in structures that could become accessory dwellings. <br />Gaffron reviewed the policy issues as noted in the memo: 1) What plumbing fixtures <br />should be allowed in an accessory building without Council review? 2) At what level of <br />plumbing does an accessory structure have the potential for secondary dwelling use or <br />non - residential use? 3) When is a restrictive covenant an appropriate alternative to a <br />guest house CUP? Does the Council wish to review /approve all restrictive covenant <br />situations? Gaffron noted a separate but related issue involves the sewer unit assessment <br />policy relating to accessory buildings with plumbing. <br />Jabbour asked for Staff s view of what is considered an accessory structure and how to <br />avoid such a structure resulting in property becoming a multi - dwelling property. Jabbour <br />said he was concerned with preventing uses that should be allowed. <br />Goetten suggested using lot size as the criteria. <br />6 <br />
