The review identified an oversight in the Development Code standards for accessory structures. The Development Code includes a standard that permits an exception from several requirements for accessory structures in order to preserve historic structures or buildings, maintain the historic character of a property, or meet the City’s goals for preservation of historic structures and character. The exception is currently permitted in the AG C, AP, and GR Districts. The Planning Commission recommended that the VN District be added to the districts where the exception is permitted. The attached amendment includes that recommendation. The Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment at the July 5 meeting.
