County adopts land development regulation amendments including accessory-apartment and towing-yard rules
Summary
Bradley County Planning presented and the board approved amendments to Raleigh County's Land Development Regulations covering accessory-apartment sizing (detached accessory apartments limited to 50% of the accessory structure), nonconformity/lot-of-record clarifications, and new screening and 500-foot separation standards for towing/storage facilities, adopted by resolution 082426.
Bob Isaac of Bradley County Planning presented proposed amendments to the Raleigh County Land Development Regulations and walked commissioners through key changes, including an added size limit for accessory apartments located in detached accessory structures. "Any accessory apartment that is incorporated within a detached accessory structure shall not exceed 50% of the total square footage of such accessory structure," Isaac said, explaining the rule is intended to prevent detached accessory structures being converted into de facto secondary dwellings without conditional-use review.
Isaac also described clarifications to nonconforming lot-of-record rules and proposed screening requirements for towing and storage facilities, including a 500-foot separation from residential zoning districts and a prohibition on vehicle storage outside screened areas. After public hearing and board discussion, a commissioner moved to approve resolution 082426 amending the Raleigh County Land Development Regulations as presented; the motion was seconded and the board approved the resolution.
