Section 1325— General Regulations A. Height—Meets Requirements In all zoning districts which are not residential,the Code requires that accessory structures not exceed the height of the principal structure to which they are accessory. The proposed garage would not exceed 15 feet in height, which is far lower than the principal structure on the lot. B. Size—Meets Requirements The Zoning Code requires that accessory structures in zoning district other than residential be limited in size by the lot coverage standards for the parcel. This requirement is met by the proposed plans. C. Exterior Finish—Meets Requirements The Code requires the exterior finish of accessory structures to be compatible in appearance and materials used with the principal structure served by the accessory structure. The proposed garage would be constructed of brick and EIFS in a color and, texture that match the building materials of the existing principal structure. D. Landscaping and Tree Preservation—Meets Requirements Five significant trees would be removed as a result of this application. The Code allows up to ten percent of the existing significant caliper inches on site to be removed without mitigation. The proposed amount to be removed is far below this threshold. Based on the size of the addition, additional landscaping is not required. E. Lighting—Meets Requirements No additional lighting is proposed as part of this project. F. Parking,Loading, and Circulation-Meets Requirements No parking stalls would be lost as a result of this application. 2.
