Scope of Proposal. Note 5 of Table 7-6 of the current zoning ordinance allows some building space (e.g., rear garage) to "project" into an interior side yard, but not closer than three feet to the property line. This proposal would revise Note 5 as follows: (i) clarify that eaves may project closer to the side property line, (ii) clarify that stairways may be in the projecting part of the building, (iii) provide that certain openings may be "translucent (but not transparent)," and (iv) revise and tighten some wording. The principal purpose is to clarify the status of eaves, stairways and openings under Note 5. Preliminary Recommendation. Based on the limited review given this matter so far, and subject to further review following public hearing, the Commission: (i) finds that the proposal, if adopted, would be in the public interest, (ii) makes a preliminary recommendation favorable to the proposal, (ii) recommends that the City Council call a joint public Attachment to 9-13-2007 ZPC minutes hearing to consider this matter.

Scope of Proposal. Under the existing definition of "old stock housing," housing does not qualify if it had more than 1,700 square feet of gross floor area when built. This proposal would eliminate that size restriction (but keep the requirement that the house be more than 40 years old). Changing the definition would affect not only the zoning ordinance but also other building-related ordinances (see Section 18-20 of the Code of Ordinances). The principal purpose is to expand the definition of and preserve and encourage the renovation of "old stock housing." Preliminary Recommendation. Based on the limited review given this matter so far, and subject to further review following public hearing, the Commission: (i) finds that the proposal, if adopted, would be in the public interest, (ii) makes a preliminary recommendation favorable to the proposal, (ii) recommends that the City Council call a joint public hearing to consider this matter.

Scope of Proposal. Under the existing definition of "old stock housing," housing does not qualify if: (i) it had more than 1,700 square feet of gross floor area when built, or (ii) it currently has more than 3,400 square feet of gross floor area. This proposal would: (i) eliminate the 1,700-square-foot original size restriction (but keep the requirement that the housing be more than 40 years old), and (ii) change the current size restriction from 3,400 square feet to "twice the gross floor area of all the buildings on the site when originally built." Changing this definition would affect not only the zoning ordinance but also other building-related ordinances (see Section 18-20 of the Code of Ordinances).

Scope of Proposal. Under the existing definition of "structure," certain criteria contribute to define what a structure is. The proposal adds a 180 day window by which a structure remains in one place if it weighs more than 250 pounds or is attached to the ground or a structure. The principal purpose is to amend the definition of "structure" to help with enforcement. Preliminary Recommendation. Based on the limited review given this matter so far, and subject to further review following public hearing, the Commission: (i) finds that the proposal, if adopted, would be in the public interest, (ii) makes a preliminary recommendation favorable to the proposal, (ii) recommends that the City Council call a joint public hearing to consider this matter.

Amend subsection (c) of Section 10-102 as follows: (c) Addit enal neuveringAreas. In addition to the minimum dimensions for parking spaces, there must be sufficient driveways and other maneuvering areas to allow ordinary, practical use of each required parking space, as-f Maneuvering areas must also comply with the following: (1) S n t i regarding gar-age man . - ^u. To facilitate access to each required garage parking space there must be a maneuvering area immediately outside the garage opening. For SFD use: (i) the minimum dimensions are 20 ft long and 10 ft. wide for each space, unless the administrative official determines that a different configuration will allow average-sized vehicles to enter and leave the space easily (and approves the configuration as part of an official site plan); and (ii) the area may be located on the building site or in the adiacent street area or partly in each. For non- SFD uses the minimum dimensions are 24 ft. long and 2 ft. wider than the garage opening and the area must be located entirely on the building site. (2) Maneuvering areas may not be counted toward the required number of parking spaces (except on sites with SFD use only). (3) Maneuvering areas (except those serving only one or two dwelling units) must be provided, sized and arranged so that a large vehicle can leave the street driving forward, enter any required parking space driving forward, park in that space, and then re-enter the street area driving forward, all with no more than two stops to change directions. As used in this section, "large vehicle" means a truck 18 feet long, with a turning radius of 24 feet (outside of bumper). z' r'- This does not apply t g areas t only one ep two dwelling units. (4) Reasonable usable "overhang" above low landscaping and similar areas may be counted toward required maneuvering area. Sallye Clark From: Jeffrey Horowitz Ohorowitz@craincaton.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 4:40 PM To: Sallye Clark; Brown Steve - ZPC (E-mail) Subject: ZPC Meeting tll'_ 1 2007091217084898 3.pdf (109 KB)... Dear Sallye and Steve, I will be unable to attend tomorrow nights meeting. I did, however, want to raise one point with respect to garage size. At our last meeting, we discussed garages sized with 20' openings and began discussions about the size of loading areas in front of garages. I tend to think that a mandatory 20' opening might be too big for garages on smaller (50 x 100) lots. In these cases, a 16' opening may be perfectly workable. I have attached a copy of the plan from my house which shows this. From my experience, a sixteen foot entry can work for both a SW and a full size car. Also, as we were beginning to discuss at the last meeting, I do not believe the loading area in front of the garage needs to mirror the space inside the garage. Maneuverability can be adequately accomplished with less area, as shown on the attached plan. Regards, Jeff Jeffrey I.

Scope of Proposal. The proposal would: (i) specify a 10- foot minimum driveway width (unobstructed vehicular path); (ii) require hard-surfaced pavement for most vehicular areas; (iii) require, in addition to garage parking spaces, an extra parking space between the garage and the public roadway. The proposal mainly applies to single-family detached houses (SFD use). It includes details for measurement and locations, some cross- referencing and a special rule for some prior non-conforming driveways. The principal purposes are to make driveways easier to use and require extra parking spaces that would not block sidewalks. Such an extra space could also be used as a loading or unloading area. Preliminary Recommendation. Based on the limited review given this matter so far, and subject to further review following public hearing, the Commission: (i) finds that the proposal, if adopted, would be in the public interest, (ii) Attachment to 9-13-2007 ZPC minutes makes a preliminary recommendation favorable to the proposal, (ii) recommends that the City Council call a joint public hearing to consider this matter.
