FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
(Costa
DATE: July 25, 1989 County
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL ZONING ORDINANCE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the Community Development
Department and the County Planning Commission to consider an amendment
to the residential zoning ordinance to restrict the size and height of
accessory buildings in residential areas .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A situation was recently called to
my attention where a property owner was allowed to build a large
accessory building on his property. The residents neighboring this
property are upset about the impacts on their property and their
views . It appears, however, this is allowed under the current zoning
ordinance.
The ordinance should be amended to restrict the size and
height of accessory buildings . A suggested threshold for triggering
a requirement for a land use permit should be--1,000 square feet or
greater in size and 20 feet or higher in height.
If the Community Development staff has other suggestions or
recommendations regarding other categories where such limitations
should apply, this should be icluded in a package of amendments .
