The full story
The council adopted Ordinance No. 133/26 to amend City Code §156.121, setting clearer accessory-structure standards. The ordinance specifies permitted and prohibited locations, establishes dimensional limits (maximum accessory-structure height of 21 feet and a maximum of two detached accessory buildings per lot), requires a building permit for most accessory structures and requires site plans, and bans semitrailers, shipping containers and railroad storage cars as accessory structures except temporary construction trailers with proper permits.
