Attachment A E XTRACT OF THE P LANNING C OMMISSION M EETING M INUTES OF J ULY 10,2013 a. PROJECT FILE 13-0017 Request by Roseville Planning Division for consideration of a ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS to Section 1004.02 (Residential Accessory Buildings) regarding design requirements and performance standards Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Project File 13-0017 at 7:56 p.m. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd summarized the request by the Planning Division to reintroduce the height restriction for accessory structures contained in previous iterations of the zoning code, but unintentionally omitted from the 2012 zoning update. As detailed in the July 10, 2013 staff report (Section 4.3), Mr. Lloyd opined that such a limitation remained worthwhile; with the proposed text changes detailed in Section 5.0 of the staff report and corresponding Table 1004-1 in Section 1004.02 (Accessory Buildings) and footnotes as highlighted. At the request of Member Boguszewski, Mr. Lloyd noted that this particular section of code specifically addressed residential accessory buildings used for storage, and would not affect a child’s tree house or a pergola on the property. In the event of a low-lying rambler, Member Daire questioned if there was any recourse for an owner if the width of the garage and matching the roof slope to the existing structure brought the peak above the average roofline peak of the main structure. Mr. Lloyd responded that one recourse would be the variance process; however, without a specific application before him, he advised that his initial thought was if the garage footprint was actually similar to that described by Member Daire, it would already be larger than the principle structure and therefore exceed other code provisions. At the request of Member Daire as to whether an attached garage was technically considered an accessory building, Mr. Lloyd responded that, since the principle use was the dwelling unit itself, accessory to that were parking, and storage; and for this purpose, a detached garage was considered an accessory building. Chair Gisselquist closed the Public Hearing at 8:03 p.m.; no one spoke for or against. MOTION Member Murphy moved, seconded by Member Cunningham to recommend to the City Council APPROVAL OF ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS, based on the comments and findings of Sections 4-6 and the recommendation of Section 7 of the staff report dated July 10, 2013. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried.
