FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JUNE 17, 2025
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND THE
ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO SECONDARY
STRUCTURES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider calling a public hearing to amend
various sections of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
(82-73), same being Appendix D of the Code of Ordinances,
as follows: amendments to various sections of the zoning
ordinance related to secondary structures, including
requirements for their size, location and height.
BACKGROUND:
The City's current zoning regulations for residential properties permit homeowners to
build attached or detached secondary structures, such as garages, workshops, and home
gyms, that can occupy up to 60% of their rear yard. While these regulations are designed
to provide flexibility for property owners, recent development activities have raised
concerns regarding the size, scale, and visual impact of these structures within
established residential neighborhoods.
Two recent examples, one on West Texas Street and another on Lakeview Drive near
West Kimball Road, have resulted in the construction of significant secondary buildings
that alarmed adjacent neighbors, nearby residents, and members of the Planning and
Zoning Commission. These cases highlighted some unintended consequences of the
current regulations, including effects on neighborhood character, privacy, and overall
compatibility.
In response to these concerns, the Planning and Zoning Commission has initiated a
review of the City's secondary structure regulations. The primary objective of this review
is to evaluate and refine standards related to:
- The allowable number of secondary structures per lot,
- The appropriate locations for such structures on residential properties, and
- Revisions to size and height limitations tailored to properties based on the lot's size.
This in-depth review was conducted through a series of six workshops held by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. During these sessions, members examined current
regulations, compared community standards, and collected public input.

The proposed amendments resulting from this process are designed to enhance the
balance between homeowner flexibility and neighborhood compatibility. They aim to
ensure that secondary structures suitably complement the scale and character of
residential areas.
ISSUES:
Below are proposed draft revisions depicted in a strikethrough/underline format to show
deletions and insertions found in various sections of the Zoning Ordinance.
