Docks and lifts are not counted towards the total number of LRV between September 15 and May 30. • A table and graphic showing simulated lots are added for reference. 2 | P a g e • The number of LRV and/or RCV allowed on a lot is revised to be based on parcel size. • A maximum of one RCV is allowed as exterior storage. • Each parcel is allowed one boat that does not count towards exterior storage. • LRV and RCV that are completely screened from abutting public streets and adjacent property are not considered exterior storage. • Additional language was added to clarify standards for off-street parking. • Standards have been added to clarify when and what is allowed as exterior storage on vacant lots. • Definitions for Controlled Access Lot and Water Recreation Equipment have been added.

ANALYSIS Planning Commission The Planning Commission heard the application at the August 5, 2025, meeting. The Planning Commission opened the public hearing and five comments were received. Comments generally expressed concerns with the number of vehicles that would be allowed on smaller lots, concerns about the allowance for docks and lifts to be not counted indefinitely, and expressed concerns about the process and confusing nature of the ordinance. The Planning Commission then closed the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the ordinance amendment. Comments were made to staff regarding grammatical corrections, and the Planning Commission made an amendment to the proposed ordinance to include the grammatical corrections with a vote of 5-0. The Planning Commission then discussed the standards in the ordinance. The discussion by the Planning Commission echoed the concerns expressed during the public hearing. The Planning Commission asked for clarification regarding the intent of the ordinance and the issue that was trying to be addressed. Staff clarified that there were concerns raised through the process of enforcement and the City had received concerns that expressed both a desire to have more and less exterior storage allowed. The Commission further discussed the limitations that smaller lots create, concerns about what was counted as exterior storage, and the location and number of LRV and RCV stored on a lot. The Planning Commission moved to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment, with amendments. The motion was approved with a vote of 4-0, Cullen abstaining. The recommended amendments are as follows: 1. Grammatical corrections throughout the document. 2. The dates that exempt boat docks and boat lifts from being counted in the maximum number of LRV and RCV shall remain, and boats shall be removed. 3. Smaller watercraft and recreational equipment such as paddleboards, paddleboats, canoes, and kayaks shall not be counted as LRV and a definition shall be added to clarify the allowance. 3 | P a g e 4. Each property in the City shall be allowed one boat that does not count towards the total number of LRV or RCV on a property. 5. The allowance for storage in the front yard due to physical conditions shall be included. 6. The number of RCV and LRV allowed shall be reduced and the table shall be combined. 7. A maximum of one RCV shall be allowed. 8. Exterior storage shall meet the structure setbacks established in Section 153.200 for the relevant zoning district. 9. Exterior storage shall be allowed on pervious surfaces. 10. Exterior storage shall be allowed on vacant lots that are contiguous parcels or non- contiguous parcels, only when such a lack of contiguity is due to the presence of a dedicated public right-of-way, that are under the same ownership on which a principal structure is constructed. 11. Exterior storage shall be allowed on controlled access lots. Staff have incorporated these amendments into the attached ordinance, with the exception of the fifth amendment. The allowance for storage in the front yard is no longer necessary as storage in the front yard is allowed provided setbacks are met. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed amendment is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC. The drafted standards further establish standards for exterior storage, allow for additional storage on larger lots, and allow staff a greater ability to act on violations of the ordinance. Exterior Storage on Vacant Lots The allowances and standards for storage on vacant lots have been further defined and expanded. Staff prepared the exhibits below to help illustrate the standards. Staff is not recommending including these in the ordinance, but staff can use the exhibits to create a handout to help residents understand the standards. 4 | P a g e 5 | P a g e COUNCIL ACTION The City Council can do one of the following: 1. Approve, with or without conditions, of the attached resolution. 2. Deny, with findings, of the attached resolution. 3. Table the request for further review/study. RECOMMEDNATION The Planning Commission recommends approval of the attached Ordinance 2025-13 to amend exterior storage standards in the UDC.
