Zoning Text Amendment for Single Family Dwelling Requirements - Three Stall Garages Case 04-54-04-TACITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION City Council Meeting Date: September 21, 2004. AGENDA ITEM: Case 04 -54-04 TA - Zoning Text Amendment AGENDA SECTION: Single Family Dwelling Requirements Consent Three Stall Garages PREPARED BY: Jason Lindahl, A.I.C.P. ENDA NO. Assistant City Planner ATTACHMENTS: Draft Ordinance, PC Minutes, Section 4.15 - APPROVED BY: Single Family Dwelling Requirements, General Site Plan '0 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt an ordinance amending S tion 4.15, of Ordinance B, the Zoning Ordinance relating to Single Family Dwelling Requirements for three stall garages. ACTION: ISSUE This proposed text amendment is staff initiated. The intent is to require home builders to position new single family homes on lots so that a third stall may be built in the future without need of variance. While the residential housing market more and more is requiring new home to include a three stall garage, the City has processed enough variance requests for third stalls that staff feels this amendment is warranted. BACKGROUND Over the past two years, staff has processed several setback variance requests to allow construction of a third attached garage stall. In most cases, the need for the variance could have been avoided if the original home builder had positioned the house on the lot with enough room on the garage side to accommodate a future third garage stall. In other words, the lot was wide enough to accommodate a house with a three car garage but the structure - placement precluded the addition without variance (see attached site plan). PLANNING COMMISSION The Planning Commission reviewed this item and held a Public Hearing during their August 22, 2004 meeting. There was no comment from the public. The Commission asked general questions regarding when this standard would take effect and how it would affect home construction. Staff indicated that this standard would take effect upon its publication and should have little affect on home construction. Currently, builders are required to submit a site survey showing the position of the house and garage on the lot. The survey will now need to show either a three stall garage or sufficient area to build a third stall in the future.. 11 ANALYSIS At present, the zoning ordinance requires single family homes to provide an attached two stall garage of a certain size and dimension but does not address future expansion needs. Currently, an attached garage must be a minimum of 440 square feet and not less than 20 feet wide in either direction. The maximum allowable size for an attached garage is 1,000 square feet in area. This text amendment would requireall future single family home permit applications, except those lots already approved by preliminary plat approval, to include a certificate of survey illustrating space for a future third stall. The amendment would require the area for the third stall to be a minimum of 10 feet wide and 20 feet deep or 200 square feet. That 200 square feet would be counted against maximum limit of 1,000 square feet for attached garage space. As a result, if a home builder chose to build only the required two stall garage it could not exceed 800 square feet in size. These new requirements would take effect after the published date of the ordinance and would not apply to single family lots platted before the effective date of this amendment. 2 City of Rosemount Ordinance No. B AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 4.15 OF THE ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE B Single Family Dwelling Requirements THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1 .

Public Hearing: Zoning Text Amendment for Three Stall Garages, City of Rosemount Assistant Planner Lindahl reviewed staff's request for a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to require home builders to position new single family homes on lots so that a third stall may be built in the future without the need of a variance. Staff indicated an increase in variance requests over the past few years. Mr. Lindahl stated the need for the variance could have been avoided if the house was positioned on the lot with room to accommodate a future third stall garage. The text amendment would require all future single family home permit applications to include a certificate of survey illustrating space for a future third stall. The new requirement would apply to single family lots platted after the publication date of the amended ordinance.
