Council asks staff to draft text amendments on accessory building standards
Summary
The Community of the Whole voted to place two related text amendments (TA‑03‑2025 and TA‑04‑2025) on the next council agenda to change standards for accessory buildings in residential/agricultural and conservation/business/industrial districts.
Council members voted unanimously to request legislation for two text amendments — TA‑03‑2025 (MCO 11.81.04) addressing accessory building uses in residential and agricultural districts and TA‑04‑2025 (MCO 11.81.05) addressing accessory building standards in conservation, business and industrial districts. Both items had public hearings earlier in the evening.
Staff noted the items were public-hearing matters from the regular council meeting and asked that legislation be drafted for the next meeting. Each motion to prepare legislation passed on roll call with all members recorded as voting yes; no final code changes were adopted at this session.
Because these are changes to the city’s codified ordinance sections, council’s votes at this meeting were procedural authorizations to draft the amendments and place them on the agenda for formal ordinance consideration and final vote.
The items will return with text amendment language prepared by planning staff and the Planning Commission record from the earlier hearing, at which point council may adopt, amend or reject the ordinances.
