Satellite Beach board adopts definitions for accessory dwelling units and car washes; 3-1 vote
Summary
The board approved definitions for "accessory dwelling units" and "car wash" to add those terms to the city code; the motion passed 3-1 after roll-call voting.
The Satellite Beach planning meeting approved definitions for "accessory dwelling unit" (ADU) and "car wash," adding both terms to the city code in a 3-1 roll-call vote.
An ADU was read into the record as “an accessory dwelling unit means a secondary independent residential dwelling unit either within the same structure or on the same lot as the primary dwelling unit.” The board’s action places the definition in the city’s code but does not itself change whether ADUs will be allowed; staff said adding the definition is a necessary first step before the city can consider allowing ADUs under local rules or in response to state legislation.
The adopted car-wash definition reads in part that a car wash is “a facility, building, structure, or a portion thereof, whether attended, automated, self-service, manual, or any combination thereof, where motor vehicles or recreational vehicles are washed, rinsed, waxed, polished, vacuumed, detailed, or otherwise cleaned or treated.” Staff said the definition was prepared to support separate work on whether and where car washes should be allowed as a conditional use.
The motion to accept the definitions as written was moved and seconded and then decided by roll call: Allen Lamotte voted no; Kevin Finnegan, Cindy Kane and David Deliden voted yes. The motion passed, placing both definitions into the code.
