2.4 Section I 004.01A11 reads: Overall Area: The overall area of attached garage space and detached accessory building space shall not exceed the floor area of the main level of the principal residential structure on the property. 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 have 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 to identify those sections of the ordinance that present the most confusion. Specifically, Section 1004.01A 1,5,8, 11, 12, and 13. 3.2 In the case of Section 1004.01Al, clarification should be made as to the type of structures allowed, such as detached garage, accessory building, and shed, as well as the total number allowed. 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 _through_, page _ attempts to clarify this confusion.
