Gaffron, Asst. City Administrator <br /> Date: November 14, 2012 <br /> Subject: #12-3586 City of Orono -Zoning Code-Housekeeping Amendments <br /> ■ Public Hearing <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> Zoning Code Sections Affected: <br /> 1) 78-394, 78-419 and 78-443 (Accessory uses in Rural Residential Districts) <br /> 2) 78- 566 (Accessory uses in the RS District) <br /> Application Summary: <br /> 1) A housekeeping text amendment to Zoning Code Sections 78-394, 78-419 and 78- <br /> 443.regarding the keeping of farm animals as an accessory use in Rural Residential <br /> Districts. The revision will eliminate language that was inadvertently added via <br /> Ordinance 82 Third Series in December 2010 suggesting a CUP is needed for this <br /> accessory use in RR districts. <br /> 2) A housekeeping text amendment to Section 78- 566 correcting a cross-reference to <br /> the list of accessory uses in the RS Seasonal Recreational District which was not <br /> corrected when Ordinance 90 Third Series was ado ted in December 2011. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A. Draft Ordinance <br /> Exhibit B. Existing Sections 78-394, 78-419 &78-443 - <br /> Exhibit C. Existing Sections 78-564 & 78-566 <br /> Background- Ordinance 82 <br /> In December, 2010 the Council adopted Ordinance 82, Third Series that reorganized and <br /> revised the lists of permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the City's residential zoning <br /> districts. That voluminous ordinance document consists of some 129 pages of text with <br /> many sections that are worded nearly identically between zoning districts, with hundreds of <br /> paragraphs of strikeout/underline text and much cutting & pasting involved. Within this <br /> context we now find (not surprisingly) there were some errors that crept in, which the <br /> currently proposed amendment is intended to resolve. <br /> In Orono's Rural Residential districts (RR-lA, RR-1B, RR-1B-1) the keeping of farm <br /> animals has always been an accessory use, whereas in the R-lA,R-1B and LR-Lakeshore <br />
