2.5 Section 1004.01A12 reads: Requirements For Increasing Maximum Size: The size of an accessory building may be increased from eight hundred sixty four (864) square feet to a maximum size of one thousand eight (1,008) square feet after a public hearing and approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with Section 1013.01 of this Title, provided all other applicable provisions of this Section are met. Conditions may be attached to the permit to mitigate the impact on adjacent properties, including, but not limited to, increased setbacks, landscape screening, architectural color and detail requirements, drainage provisions, and limiting additional exterior storage. 2.6 On January 1, 1999, the current ordinance regulating accessory buildings went into effect. 2.7 Since January 1, 1999, staff has encountered many residents who haye had problems calculating their maximum allowances for accessory buildings (attached garage, detached garage and/or detached accessory structure). 2.8 The Code has four areas that limit a property owner's attached and detached accessory building square footage. These include Section 1004.01A5, 11, 12, and 13. 2.9 On September 13, 2000, the Roseville Planning Commission asked if the Zoning Committee would review the ordinance regulating accessory buildings for possible modification. 2.10 On October 4,2000, the Roseville Zoning Committee reviewed the ordinance and suggested that language be developed to clearly identify a rear yard and clearly identify the maximum square footage allowance. 3.0 STAFF COMMENT 3.1 Staff has worked with the City Attorney and Zoning Committee to identify those sections of the ordinance that present the most confusion.

The city policy and operating procedure is to allow a single family parcel or lot one attached garage, one detached garage or accessory building and one garden shed. However, the code is not clear on whether a property owner can have an attached garage, detached garage, accessory structure and/or shed. Line 14 through 16, page 1, attempts to clarify this confusion. 3.3 In the case of Section 1004.01A5, language needs to be clear on whether an allowance over the 40% rear yard calculation requires a variance or is included as part of a conditional use permit process and what encompasses the 40% rear yard area. The city policy and current procedure is to allow those requests over 40% to be included as part of the CUP process. Staff has also had to explain to citizens how to calculate a parcel or lots square footage. The Zoning Committee concluded that a property owner should be PF3270 - RPCA (110800) Page 2 of 3
