REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION 8/11/2014 Agenda Date: Agenda Item: 13.d Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider a Zoning Text Amendment to Section 1004.05A One- and Two- Family Design Standards of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance GI ENERALNFORMATION Applicant: Roseville Community Development Department Location: Text amendments the LDR-1 and LDR-2 districts Project File History: Proposed amendments brought forward to Planning Commission for discussion/recommendation in June, July, and November 2013. B ACKGROUND 1 In 2013, the City Council directed the Community Development Department to work with the 2 Planning Commission to review and consider possible modifications to Section 1004.05A, One- 3 and Two-Family Design Standards (garage door setback requirements). 4 In June, July, and November 2013, the Planning Commission held public hearings regarding text 5 amendments to section 1004.05A of the Zoning Ordinance. 6 Following is the history regarding the creation of the requirements found in Section 1004.05A as 7 well as the recommendation of the Planning Commission. 8 On July 7, 2014, the City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation and 9 discussed the option (indicated in the report) to modify the placement of garage to a 5-foot 10 forward design (see Attachment A). The Council directed staff to refine the proposal brought 11 forward that evening regarding the 5-foot forward allowance and to further discuss with the 12 Planning Commission the 40-foot setback exemption and whether that distance is appropriate. 13 Also at the July 7 City Council meeting, Dean Hanson, of Hanson Builders, made a presentation 14 to the Council regarding custom home design. Mr. Hanson spoke in favor of an amendment 15 changing the garage setback to a 5-foot garage forward design so he and other home builders can 16 take advantage of design efficiencies that cannot be realized under the current regulation. 17 CR URRENTEGULATIONS 18 The challenge with any zoning regulation is to determine what the community considers to be 19 desirable and undesirable design and then develop the least intrusive regulatory environment that 20 accomplishes the community’s goals without providing undue burden on private property 21 owners. 22 Roseville’s current garage standards have three main regulatory elements: 23 1.A limitation on garage width as a percentage of the building façade 24 2.A setback of 5 feet from the predominant building 25 PROJ0017-20_RCA_081114.doc Page 1 of 3
