Council advances draft to allow larger accessory buildings on 10+ acre parcels
Summary
The council voted to send a redlined amendment to ordinance 41.06 to the city attorney and a public hearing; the draft would allow properties of 10+ acres to use up to 2% of acreage for accessory buildings, capped at 10,000 sq ft, replacing the current 3,200 sq ft cap.
The council moved a draft amendment to ordinance 41.06 from the planning commission to the city attorney for review and to schedule a public hearing. The planning commission’s redline would allow owners of parcels of 10 acres or more to construct accessory buildings of up to 2 percent of their land area, with a maximum size of 10,000 square feet; the existing city code caps accessory buildings at 3,200 square feet.
Planning Commission Chair Amanda Hawkins presented the recommendation and councilmember Gene Skaj moved to send the draft forward; Councilmember Tom Vouk seconded. Council approved the motion unanimously, setting the next step of attorney review and a public hearing before any ordinance change takes effect.
