18- 4.11.2
Restoration of front setback for
accessory structures and establishment
of minimum separation between
accessory and primary structures
Background
In 1983 4.11.2.1 was amended to:
• Increase accessory structure setback from 5' to 6'; and,
• Prohibit location of accessory structures in front yards adjacent to
streets or access easements in the RA or residential districts.
In 2002 4.11.2.1 was amended again to:
• Add provisions to allow accessory structures to be located 3' from alleys;
and,
• Delete the prohibition of location of accessory structures adjacent to streets
and access easements.
Proposed Revisions
• 4.11.2 (a) restores prohibition of location of
accessory structures, including detached
garages in required front yards.
• 4.11.2 (b) addresses side and rear setbacks for
accessory structures and setbacks for these
structures adjacent to alleys adjacent to alleys.
• 4.11.3 adds a requirement that easement
holders approve encroachments.
Proposed Revisions
• 4.11.2 (c) Includes retaining walls on the
list of structures that are permitted in
required yards.
• 4.11.2 (d) has been drafted to require
accessory structures located closer than 1'
to the primary structure to meet the
primary setback.
Questions for the Commission
• Is the 1' separation appropriate?
• Should signs be eliminated from proposed
4.11.2 (c)?
• Should ATMs be added to proposed
4.11.2 (c)?
• Should dumpsters be added to proposed
4.11.2 (c)?
Recommendation

Resolution of Intent and asks the
Commission to advise if it recommends
further revisions to the proposed ZTA and
to set this matter for public hearing.
