<br />~. <br /> <br />1. Residential accessory buildings can reduce exterior clutter on residential <br />properties by providing storage for household goods, vehicles, and <br />recreational equipment. <br /> <br />2. Limiting the n\Jmber, size, location, height, and appearance of accessory <br />buildings in residential zoning districts allows for such storage while <br />protecting the residential areas of the community from excessively large and <br />obtrusive accessory buildings. <br /> <br />3. Limiting the size of accessory buildings also maintains open space on <br />residential parcels. This open space is important for the absorption of <br />surface water run-off, allows for more air movement between lots, and helps <br />maintain the livability of residential neighborhoods. <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDA TION <br /> <br />1.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1, staff recommends that Section <br />1004.01(A) of the City Code be amended as outlined below.
