Plan Commission sets Aug. 25 public hearing on residential setback and accessory-structure amendments
Summary
The commission voted to schedule a public hearing Aug. 25, 2026 to consider proposed amendments to residential setbacks and accessory-structure regulations (including a uniform 3-foot pool setback) and cited code sections to be considered.
Planning staff presented draft code changes addressing residential single-family dwelling setbacks and accessory-structure setbacks, noting the draft aims to unify standards (including a proposed 3-foot pool setback) and to reflect inspector standards used in other communities.
"If we have that in place, there still would be standards that would be, it's a standard electric or I believe the inspector that inform me," staff said while discussing consistency with other jurisdictions. A commissioner moved to schedule a public hearing for Aug. 25, 2026 to consider amendments to code sections referenced in the draft (82-289, 82-384, 82-553); the motion carried.
The public hearing will consider whether the proposed uniform setback provisions and accessory-structure rules should be incorporated into the city's residential district area and construction regulations. Staff said they would confirm technical details with inspectors prior to the hearing.
