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. Also, staff has always 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 instances 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 parcel or lots allowable rear yard area. Line _ through _, page _ attempts to clarify the 40% requirement. A modification to Section 1004.01A12 has been proposed that provided for an increase of the 40% rear yard area allowance. 3.4 In the case of Section 1004.01A8, it is not clear whether recreational vehicles seasonally stored or stored seasonally driven collectibles require a paved surface. The city policy and operating procedure has been not to require the additional paved surface if the accessory building is used primarily to store these yehicles versus having a detached garage and driving the them frequently during the non-winter months. Line _ through _, page _ attempts to provide clarity on this issue. 3.5 In the case of Section 1004.01All, main floor living area is calculated by determining the living space occupying the main level of a home. However, the actual living area of homes differs depending on the type (rambler, two-story, multi-level, and split-level) of home. It is possible that a rambler home could be afforded a greater square footage allowance than a multi-level home. Staff has also found that computerized records are not always accurate, nor typically identify main floor living area. Thus staff must rely on the property owner for this calculation. Using the exterior footprint ofthe home (excludes attached garages and covered porches) would be more effective in determining living area. Line _ through _, page _ attempts to clarify this issue. 3.6 In the case of Section 1004.01A12, 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 ofthe 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_ through _, page _ attempts to provide clarity to a number of issues surrounding the requirements for maximum size of accessory structures. 3.7 In addition to the clarifying the sections listed above, staff also recommends that the ordinance be renumbered to provide a clear format. 4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 4.6 It is recommended that the Roseville Planning Commission consider the proposed modifications as identified in the attached "DRAFT" ordinance.
