Gaffron, Asst. City Administrator <br /> Date: April 11, 2013 <br /> Subject: #13-3596 City of Orono - Zoning Study - Accessory Uses and Structures <br /> - Study is Pursuant to Ordinance 96, 3rd Series - Moratorium <br /> - Proposed Text Amendments (Various Sections of Chapter 78) <br /> ■ 3"d Review- Continued Public Hearing <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> Pertinent Zoning Code Sections: <br /> Various Sections of Chapter 78 - Including `Accessory Uses' Sections in R Districts <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> A - DRAFT Ordinance Outline and Text for Discussion <br /> B - Use Tables 1-2-3: Extremely Common/ Somewhat Common/Marginally Common <br /> C - Memo & Selected Exhibits of 3-14-13 <br /> D - Draft PC Minutes 3-18-13 <br /> Planning Commission has reviewed the topic of accessory uses and structures at its regular <br /> meetings of February 19 and March 18, as well as at its March 6 work session. On Maxch 18 we <br /> reviewed the tables of unlisted but `extremely common' accessory uses and structures, and <br /> Planning Commission provided valuable comments on how these items should be addressed in <br /> the City's ordinances. We did not review the `somewhat' or `marginally' common items at that <br /> time; however, staff has drafted a proposed ordinance amendment for discussion that addresses <br /> all 3 categories of unlisted uses. <br /> Draft Ordinance <br /> The attached draft ordinance begins with a title revision and adds Section 78-201 which is a <br /> general statement indicating that if a use is not listed, it's not allowed. The ordinance proposes <br /> revisions to the `accessory uses' section of each of the 9 basic single-family residential districts, <br /> so there is necessarily a significant amount of text duplication in the ordinance formatting. <br /> Additionally it amends just the Accessory Use section preamble of the RPUD, Industrial, and B- <br /> 1 thru B-6 districts. Finally it amends specific sections of the Zoning Code pertinent to <br /> accessory uses regarding height of structures, standards for tennis courts, pools, etc., and non- <br /> encroachments, as well as a few minor word additions to selected sections. A brief summary of <br /> the ordinance revisions: <br /> Section 1. The title of"Supplementary Requirements and Restrictions - Accessory Buildings" <br /> (encompassing Sections 78-1431 thru 78-1440) is amended by adding "and Structures" to reflect <br /> that this section also deals with structures that are not buildings. <br />
