Summary

As part of the Downtown Design Overlay work, commissioners recommended allowing accessory buildings only in back or side yards to limit visual impact on street fronts.

The Planning Commission recommended that accessory buildings in the proposed downtown overlay be allowed only in rear or side yards. The recommendation is intended to protect primary street‑facing building forms and avoid cluttering the pedestrian environment with accessory structures on the front lot line.

Commissioners instructed that the recommended approach be drafted into overlay language for future review; no final text was adopted at April 8.
