Height: The current regulations limit acccssory structurc height to less than the <br /> height of the principal structure. The height limit for principal structures in the <br /> residential zones is 35 fcet, which means that an acccssory structure could <br /> potentially be 34.9 feet tall on a 728 square foot footprint. This could allow a <br /> property owner to create a multi-story accessory structure. The proposed <br /> regulations would limit accessory structure height to 15 feet or no taller than the . <br /> principal structure, whichever is shorter. This height allows property owners to <br /> still have storage above, but it would limit building a full second story on new <br /> accessory structures. Common height limitations in other cities are between 13 <br /> and 25 feet. <br /> Height is measurcd from the average level of the grade along the foundation to the <br /> halfway point between the tallest peak and eaves.
