3.2 Section 1004.01A5 Size Limits: It has been determined that 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 afforded a larger garage under certain circumstances and that the CUP process would be the mechanism for determining the validity/appropriateness of such a request. The Zoning Committee further concluded that language could be included that explained how to determine a lot's allowable rear yard area. Line 41 through 43, page 1, attempts to clarify the 40% requirement. A modification to Section 1004.01A12 has been proposed that provides for an increase of the 40% rear yard area allowance. 3.3 Section 1004.01A8 Driveway Required: It has been determined that the current language is not clear as to whether recreational vehicles seasonally stored or seasonally stored vehicles or "collectibles" require a paved surface to a detached accessory structure. The city policy and operating procedure has been to not require the additional paved surface if the accessory building is used primarily to store these vehicles versus having a detached garage with regular vehicle use during the non-winter months. Line 37 through 39, page 4, attempts to provide clarity on this issue. 3.4 Section 1004.01All Overall Area: Currently, main floor living area is calculated by determining the living space occupying the main level of a home. However, staff has found that computerized records are not always accurate, nor typically identify main floor living area. The issue, in this instance, is to regulate overall accessory building square footage by limiting it to main floor living area of the principal structure (home) as a means to limit or differentiate between the massing of all the structures on the site. Thus, using the exterior dimensional footprint of the home (excludes attached garages and covered porches) would be more effective in determining living area. Line 38 and 39, page 2, attempts to clarify this issue. 3.5 Section 1004.01A12 Requirements For Increasing Maximum Size: It has been determined that the code is clear as to what is a permitted process and what requires a conditional use permit process. However, it is unclear whether additional conditions need to be developed other than those in Section 1013.01 of the Roseville City Code. The Zoning Committee determined that the current conditional use permit process should remain and that no new conditions be created. The Committee also suggested including the conditional use permit criteria stipulated in Section 1013.01D as a means to clarify what is necessary to support a conditional use permit application. Line 8 through 23, page 2, attempts to provide clarity to a number of issues surrounding the requirements for maximum size of accessory structures. 3.6 In addition to clarifying the sections listed above, the ordinance has been renumbered to provide a clear format.
