An accessory building containing up to 1000 1,500 square feet may be utilized in the RR °R and R4 residential zoning districts, detailed in Section 3.3,9 provided that the leg structure is built with suitable residential construction materials to resemble 4as the appearance of a residential accessory structure.10 b. The accessory structure must be screened from view of the road and adjacent property by a densely planted evergreen hedge of shrubs or trees. In lieu of an evergreen hedge, a six foot stockade fence and deciduous plant materials- vegetation planted along the outside of the fence may be used for screening purposes. Screening will not be required when: i. The accessory structure is located 40 feet or more from all property lines; or 6 Existing standards regulating the number of hourly and daily trips were found to be inconsistent with proposed language regulating the number of students, customers, and /or clients permitted onsite per day. As a result, revisions will allow for an increase in the number of daily trips resulting from the operation of the home occupation. Proposed standards are to regulate the number of daily trips generated from employees and visitors associated with the home occupation and not the number of daily trips generated from the residential use of the property. Please note that a "trip count' is one direction only (a round trip, in and out, is counted as two trips in traffic engineering calculations). Additional revisions shall allow for an increase in deliveries while limiting the type of vehicle to a size normally used for household deliveries. Weight standards have been modified replacing load capacity with the more common and familiar vehicle gross weight standard. The proposed weight of 14,000 pounds will allow for the use of standard and larger sized pick -up trucks in connection with all home occupations. 8 Staff recommends the existing language to be revised in order to a avoid a potential inconsistency with standards contained within item a. 9 Revised standards are proposed to allow the use of accessory structures up to 1,500 feet in all residential districts contained within Section 3.3, Residential Districts, instead of limiting this use to only the RB, AR, and R -1 districts. 10 Revisions will clarify concerns raised at the Quarterly Public Hearing regarding existing language addressing the appearance of accessory structures. Standards require accessory structures to be constructed with suitable residential construction materials in order to avoid commercially designed structures to be located in a residential zoning district. Existing and proposed standards do not require accessory structures to take on the exact appearance of the residential structure.
