Motion carried Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission Motion by Commissioner Parrucci, seconded by Commissioner Larson that the Commission appoint Tom Wood as vice-chair of the P&Z. All in favor. Motion carried B. Residential Accessory Structures and Setbacks. The Commission reviewed a draft code change that would allow accessory buildings to be 5 feet from interior side lot lines. Definitions would change to treat attached garages in the same manner as detached garages for the purpose of interior side-yard setback. The Commission felt other restrictions that accessory buildings be limited to 2% of total lot area or 200 square feet is too restricted and should be removed. The primary restriction on accessory building (attached or detached) would be that the combined square footage could not exceed the footprint of the main floor of the dwelling. The Commission determined that the roof overhang should not be permitted to encroach into the five- foot setback, if a drainage easement existed along the property line. Motion by Commissioner Wekseth, seconded by Commissioner Lange that the Commission hold a public hearing to consider the code changes at the next meeting and that notice be given accordingly. All in favor. Motion carried C. Nonconforming uses. The Commission discussed the input that was received from the public this evening. The Commission reviewed a memo from City Attorney Glaser outlining possible actions to permit more flexibility for nonconforming uses. The suggestion was that an increase in the use be permitted to 25% of the footprint of the dwelling as existed on May 23, 2006, which is the date that the downtown plan was approved and the current zoning districts were established. Olaf Lee, 1724 Heritage Street was present. Mr. Lee suggested that 25% isn’t high enough. After some discussion the Commission suggested 33%. Some changes were suggested to the accessory building regulations. It was then suggested that nonconforming uses be allowed to construct accessory buildings as would otherwise be allowed if the property was in a R-2 zoning district. Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Lange that the Commission draft a proposed ordinance amendment that would implement a 33% expansion of nonconforming uses and would allow accessory buildings per residential R-2 regulations. All in favor. Motion carried B.Zoning to conform to Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Commission reviewed a memo from Tina Goodroad, Planner for Bonestroo, suggesting certain zoning changes to conform to the new Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the plan directs that certain areas be changed from low to medium density Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission residential, low density residential to mixed use, other areas to high density residential and another area from industrial to Commercial Business. Some members continued to express concerns that the change from industrial to business may adversely affect certain industry owners.
