Commission approves new threshold for site‑plan review of large accessory buildings
Summary
The commission adopted a text amendment setting a 4,700‑square‑foot threshold above which accessory buildings on large parcels must come with a site plan for commission review.
The De Soto Planning Commission approved a text amendment clarifying accessory‑building allowances and adding a site‑plan review threshold for large structures.
Staff proposed raising recommended accessory building sizes for parcels of certain acreages and recommended that structures over 4,700 square feet require planning commission site‑plan review. Commissioners discussed threshold clarity and settled on the 4,700‑square‑foot trigger.
The motion to approve the suggested modifications, including the 4,700‑square‑foot site‑plan threshold, was seconded and carried on roll call. Staff will incorporate the approved change into the zoning text sent to the City Council per the usual code‑amendment procedure if required.
