<br />AD Overlay District Text Amendment <br /> <br />2 <br />October 1, 2002 <br /> <br />The Planning Department Alternative elaborates on the Planning Commission Alternative <br />for the provision of owner-occupancy. The alternative requires that the property be <br />homesteaded. In addition to requiring the filing of a deed restriction with Hennepin <br />County, the new language requires annual registration with the Assessor's Office <br />indicating that at least one of the units is homesteaded. <br /> <br />4. Section 551.1060(4). Conditional Uses. <br /> <br />The Planning Department revised the provision pertaining to minimum lot area. The <br />revised language clarifies that the minimum lot area be either 5,000 square feet or that <br />required for the primary structure, whichever is greater. <br /> <br />Zoning and Planning Committee Action of 09.17.02: <br />Postpone the Accessory Overlay Text Amendment to the October 1, 2002 Zoning and Planning <br />Committee Meeting. <br /> <br />Zoning and Planning Committee Action of 10.01.02 and 10.15.02 and 10.29.02: <br />Postpone the Accessory Overlay Text Amendment to the November 12,2002 Zoning and <br />Planning Committee Meeting. <br /> <br />The Zoning and Planning Committee postponed the Accessory Dwelling Overlay Text <br />Amendment in order to address the following: <br /> <br />1. Enforcement of the owner-occupancy requirement. <br /> <br />The Planning Department consulted with the Rental License Division of the Department <br />of Inspections and the Assessor's Office. The City staff agreed that the most appropriate <br />and measurable tool for enforcement would be an annual registration card filed in the <br />Assessor's Office. Enforcement of this provision will require additional staff resources <br />and administrative cost to the city. <br /> <br />If the property owner of the zoning lot in which an accessory dwelling is located does not <br />file an annual registration card with the Assessor's Office, the Assessor's Office will <br />notify the Zoning Administrator and the Rental License Division. The Zoning Office <br />would then take action to revoke the approved conditional use permit due to non- <br />compliance. If the unit were rented, the Rental License Division would also issue notice <br />of violation to landlord. The City would consider the accessory dwelling unit the illegal <br />unit. <br /> <br />2 <br />
