The thought is to permit 5' side yard setbacks for single story garages. The new language complies with the Council direction for garage setbacks in older neighborhoods but as written also would permit single story living space additions to have a 5' side yard setback. The ordinance language does not negatively affect properties currently zoned R1 -A by changing standards and therefore making existing structures nonconforming. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC- HEARING No one from the audience provided comments regarding this initiative. The Planning Commissioners asked for clarification, but identified no significant concerns. Most of the people present were interested upon the proposed rezoning of the Carrollton neighborhood. In respect to the two public hearings on the Carrolton II rezoning request, there were neighbors opposed to the decrease in side yard setbacks. Some specifically mentioned that both garage and living areas could both obtain a 5' setback if they were single -story structures. The R -IA text amendment recommended by the Planning Commission, did not specify that only garages could be extended to the 5 -foot limit. That is because, under the existing R1 -A standards, any single story structure can have a 5 -foot setback. If the ordinance were limited to garages only, the modification would make some existing structures, in other previously zoned R1 -A neighborhoods, non - conforming. One way to limit the use of the 5 -foot setback allowance within the Carrollton Addition is to modify the zoning text amendment previously recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. The text could be footnoted to only allow a 5 -foot garage setback for the Carrollton neighborhood, while all other R1 -A neighborhoods would be allowed to have a 5 foot side yard setback for any single story principal structure, living space or garage. Generally, when developing an ordinance, the City tries to minimize the amount special exceptions. The idea is that the whole district zoning applies to all the properties within the district, regardless of location. Footnoting as mentioned above promotes inequities between similar residences in the same zoning district and also makes accurate administration of the ordinance more difficult. SUMMARY The draft amendment provides an asterisk and a note to the two -story setback standard that clarifies the inclusion of split — level, single story with walk -out and look -out basements in the two -story category. Clarification will reduce the potential for misinterpretation or appeals of the staff interpretation of the standard. As currently written the amendment allows 5' side yard setbacks for any single story structure. Amodification to the text would be needed to limit the 5' setback provision to garages only within the Carrolton 11 neighborhood. 2 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT ORDINANCE No. B — AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO SETBACK STANDARDS FOR ONE AND TWO -STORY HOUSES AMENDING ORDINANCE B, SECTION 6.6 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE Section 1 .

CASE 04 -30 -TA Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (Amending Section 6.6 - R1-A Low Density Residential District) City Planner Rick Pearson presented the staff initiated request for a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment for Section 6.6 of Zoning Ordinance B — Rl -A Low Density Residential District. This item has been initiated based upon feedback from the Council The intent is to provide clarification in the R1 -A District zoning standards regarding the interpretation of single and two story houses.

The draft amendment provides an asterisk and a note to the two -story setback standard that clarifies the inclusion of split — level, single story with walk -out and look -out basements in the two -story category. There was further discussion amongst the Commissioners and staff clarifying the proposed definition of a two story house. Chairperson Messner opened the public hearing.
