Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting <br />June 15, 2017 <br />Chapter 106 Amendments - Carports <br /> <br /> <br />Planning and Development Department <br />Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Staff was asked to look into possible amendments to Chapter 106 that would further regulate <br />when and where carports could be constructed within the city. At the April 20, 2017 meeting of <br />the Planning and Zoning Commission, staff presented a number of different options regarding <br />proposed language for amendments. From the discussion that resulted, staff has crafted <br />language for the proposed amendment. The draft version was presented to the commission on <br />May 18, 2017. At that time the council requested some additional language allowing carports <br />on large lots to be located less than 100 feet back if the home was setback less than 100 feet. <br />That added language is in italics. <br /> <br />Proposed Language: <br />Sec. 106-741. - General provisions <br />(a) No accessory buildings, uses or structures shall be erected or located in any required <br />yard other than the rear yard except: <br />(1) A detached private garage as defined, may be permitted in side yards, provided: <br />a.

The side yard does not abut a street right-of-way. <br /> (2) Carports as defined, may be permitted in side yards on property less than one (1) acre in <br />size and zoned or utilized for residential use as long as the carport is located entirely behind <br />the front most face of the principal building, but in no case may a carport encroach the <br />required front yard building line. All carports located within a side yard shall comply with the <br />side setback requirements applicable to the principal building. <br />(3) Accessory structures, including carports, shall be permitted anywhere on property one <br />(1) acre or greater in size and zoned or utilized for residential use, so long as such accessory <br />structures: (1) are set back at least one hundred (100) feet from the front property line ƚƩ <br />ƌƚĭğƷĻķ ĻƓƷźƩĻƌǤ ĬĻŷźƓķ ƷŷĻ ŅƩƚƓƷ ƒƚƭƷ ŅğĭĻ ƚŅ ƷŷĻ ƦƩźƓĭźƦğƌ ĬǒźƌķźƓŭͲ Ǟŷźĭŷ ĻǝĻƩ ķźƭƷğƓĭĻ źƭ <br />ƌĻƭƭ(3) do not encroach <br />on any dedicated easements. <br />(2 4) Accessory buildings built on a skid foundation, no larger than 120 square feet and <br />no more than one story in height may be located in utility easements in required rear <br />yards, except that they may not be located closer than three feet from a side or rear <br />property line or closer than six feet from any other structure. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
