INTERIM ORDINANCE REGARDING ACCESSORY USES OR STRUCTURES— <br /> ORDINANCE NO. 96,THIItD SERIES <br /> Mattick stated before the City Council tonight is an interim ordinance or moratorium regarding accessory <br /> uses or structures. The City has been reviewing the definition of an accessory structure contained in their <br /> zoning ordinance and Staff needs some additional time to look at it and see what options are available. <br /> Mattick stated one option would be to list those items that would qualify as an accessory use or structure <br /> or to come up with a better definition in the ordinance that more cleazly defines what would be allowed. <br /> In Staff's view it would be beneficial to place a moratorium on accessory structures to allow time for that <br /> review. <br /> Mattick noted there is a list that spells out specific accessory structures and uses in each of the residential <br /> districts which would not be impacted by this moratorium. In addition,the moratorium would only be <br /> placed on residential districts and would address those items that are not currently on the list. Staff would <br /> like to review the ordinance now when construction is slower and that in their view this issue can be <br /> addressed rather quickly. <br /> Mattick stated Staff's recommendation is to adopt the ordinance and then refer it to the Planning <br /> Commission for review. Staff has already begun their review of the definition and it is likely this can be <br /> brought before the Planning Commission in January. Mattick indicated Staff would like to bring this item <br /> back before the City Council in early spring. <br /> Printup asked what is on the list. <br /> Mattick indicated the list is different for each of the residential districts. There are nine residential <br /> districts and Staff has specifically listed the sections in each of those districts that are not affected by the <br /> moratorium. <br /> Printup asked if someone would like to build a garage,whether the moratorium will impact it. <br /> Page 6 of 11 <br />
