FLANNING COMN'ISSION A~TZON The Plannira Cornmisszon ~~rst considered the Definitions Text Amendment ~n July 1993 At that time, the Planning Commission rzcorTtmended approval ot Lhe Text Am~ndrnent w-th the condita.on tha~ t=e d~f~nitions ~or Average '~atural Grade, In_czd~ntal Food Serv~.cz, and Subs~an~iai Rernadea re4urn for ~:~rther discussicn - 2 - The Comrnission rhen directed staff to rneet with a subcommittee of Planning Commissionzrs ~o further discuss these definitions. Th~ ~~cidental Fcod Service definition ini~ially r~commended to t~e Pl~~ning Cammission zncladed a maxirnum 150 square ~oat flcor ar~a for th~ ;~sz !exterior and znter~ or) ecrrbined wi~h a seati_~g maxirrum o~ 15. T~e ?lannirg Comm~ssion subco~rsm=~tee proposed tha~ ~he size of any seating area be a maximurn cf 250 square ~eet and restr~cted the use to a rr•ax~mum o~ 20 seats . The Planning ~a:r-rission subsequently approved and recommended to City Council ~he -nad~£ied definita.an T ~e ~ntent cf llmitir~g the nurnber of sea~s is to provide ^lear paramet~rs as to th2 size of a seatinc€ area and r~u-nber o~ seats. Ir_ additio~., the proposed definitior_ l~.rl~ts the size a~ the } ncidenta~ use relative to the principal ase These paramete=s are ~ntended to minimize ~he potential impac~s that have arisen from incidental food uses, such as expars~on =r_to a full service restaurant without the provision of re~aired pa-rki~g. As prcposed by trz Plar:n-r_~ ~o~r-nission, the definit~on s4i11 proviaes l~mitat~ons on square zootage, number of seats, and size o= the i~cidental us~ relat~ve to the primary use Although the proposed def~nition is 1.00 square feet and S seats greater than the original recommendatio~, staff believes the Comm~ssion's recommen.da~a.an satisried the ~~tent zstahlishing better ~arameters for incidental fcoa ~ses During t: e dwscuss~o~~ of the SLbstantial Remcd2l definition, the P~annir_g Ccrlmiss~ on deter;nined tt:at there was a need for greater - ~ - rlexibility i~ retaining nanconfor~ing sztbacks for subs~an~ia~ly rernodelled structures The proposed ord~nance arnendrnent regarding Ad, ::st~r~ents address~s th~s co~cern and would allow the Zcr_~ng Adrninistrator the abil_ty to arar~t an ad,as~mznt far legal nor_conroYrning structures to retain nonco~forming setbacks when a~ ieas~ 35 iozr4~nt o~ ~he exist_ng walls would be re~ained Sectior_-~y-Section Analysis Brief desc~ip~icns of the rationale of the proposed Changes are provided below. `The proposed ordinance contained in Attachment A srows ~he exis:~ng code with proposed deletio~s in strike-au~ and proposed addlr~cns =~ bol~ A moai=icatian which cccurs throughout the clean up is a change from tre use of the term "lot" to "parcel". This ~s done in order to prov=de consistency throug?:ou~. ~he code. A second -rodif~cat~on is t~e deletion of terms that have envire Parts i~ t~e Code. Fc~ example, "home occupation" has a part ~n the Cod~ which establ~shes procedures for an a definition. of home occupations; therefore, a separate definition is not needed. In addition, some of the definitions for specific terms have been ~r,ovnd and p~aced under ~he key word Fer examble, ra~her than "Fast-Faod or Take-Out Res~aurant" b~ing under "F", tnis term has bee~ placed under "Restaurant, Fast-~ood or Take-Cut". This is beA~g done in order to ke~p like definitions together. - 4 - Acc~ssory Buildinq. This is a modif3ca~ion to the current d~finition to aad a notation that there is a distance of 5 feet between an accessory building and the principal sCruct~re on a parcel. The defin~t-on pravides that an accessory building is "'d2tached" and the purpose of s~ating a distance is to provide d_rection on what c~nstitutes detached in this ~ontext In addz~~on, the definition provides that the 5 minimum feet space betweer an accessory bui-ding and ~he principal structure may be covered but must remain apen on two sides Accassory Livinq Quarters This ~s a clarifica~ion to the existing d2f~nit~or~. Rat~~r than sta~ing that the quar~ers cannot have "coaking facilities"', tne definition is being clarified to read "kitchen, showzr, or tub enclosure". The proposed change re=at2s th~s definitian tQ that of "kitchen" rather than using 4h~ term "cook~ng facilities" which are not defined. The ir:clusiar_ o~ shower and Lub er~closura is to provide clear direcrion as to what can and cannot be included in accessory livin~ quar~ers The ~ntent ~.s that accessory liv~ng quarters can be used for short term guests, ~ut not as a~iv~ng unit By not allowing a k~~chen, shower ar tub it reduces the possibil~ty that the quar~ers will be used as a livirg unit. Acczssory Use. T~z ~roposed changes are to clarify that an acczssory use =s fcund in connecticr w~th t7z principal use on ~he parcel. Artis~ Studio. The propcsed chanaes are to c].arify that an artist studio caz be eitrer an ent_re build~ng or a portian of a bui~dir_g where an art~st works. The proposed definition draws a distinc~ior between artist studzos and performa:~ce or exhibition s~ace. - 5 - A~utamobile Repair Facility. The words "trailers, or similar vehicles" is added to ex~and ~he def~n~t~on and provide greater clarity. Automobi~e Sales Fac=lity. This dzfinition is b~ing deleted sinc~ it is not used elsewhere in the Code. The te~m "Autornobile Dea-zrship" is coMMOn?y ased. Au~ornobile Service Station. Thi~ definition has been moved ~rom "~e_rv_ce Stati~n" and the word "Automobile" has been added to refe~en~e a~ore commonly used term. Aatomobi_e Stcraqe ^he phrase "off-site or or_-site" has been added ta the defi~ition for clari~ica~~or nurposes. The stcrage can be _~ relatioz to an automobi~e dealership that either shares the property or is located on a separate property Bakery. A dzfinition is being addEd for bakery since it is a use that ~s s~ecifically ident~fied as a permit~ed use in some of the zoning ~istricts, su~h as tre C4. This d~Tinition is similar ~o t~~at adopted ~n tnz I~ierim Fast Food Ordinance ~y City Council c~ September 13, 19~4. T~e definit~on includes language that bakeries are conszdered a general reta_1 use, which will clarify that bakerie~ may be located in zonzs in whic~ ge~eral retazl use is allowed. Bathroom, Fall & Bat~roo~, Hal~ Definit~ons are being added for ~ull and ~alf bathroorns There are instances, such as in accessory baildings, where only half bathrooms are allowed so tha~ ~r2 b~ai=ding is not used as a livi~g unit . T~~ addition of these dzfinition~ w~?w provide c~ear dir~c~aon summarizing what the City consid~rs a fuii and half bathroom Bay Windcw. A def_nition is being added for bay window since i` is a t~rm used in o~her sect~ons o~ ~he Ccde, specifically in the pro~ecticns ~~ction. - 5 - Bed ard Breakfas~ Facility. A t~meframe is be~ng added to the existing definition to clarify what ls meant by "temparary ladging ~lace". Boardinq ~ause As i~ the above aefinition, a timefrarle is being added ~a 4he ex~st~ng definition to clarify wrat is mean~ by "temporary lodging place".

Drive-Throuah o- Drive-In Restaurant. This term is being deleted frcrn the defi~i~ian section ard added to Res~aurant, Fast-Food or 't'ake-Ou~ Driveway. This ~_s a~ew defin~t~on to de`ine a terrn that is used in tre Cod~. - 8 - Duplex A sentence ~s being added to clarify that a duplex is considered ~o be a Multi-family use. Dwellinq, Malti-~amily. The word "buildir~g" is be~ne us~d ~nstead of "dwelling" since ~hat is what is meant. A sente~ce is bez~g added to clar~fy that more than one dwelling cn a parcel is considerzd a multi-fami?y use.

T~e term "'wholly or partly" will be rep~acad by "en~irely" and thz referencz to the garage ceiling height is being dele~zd. General R~tai1. `^he ~roposed change is to ma'.~e the definition in ~he sin~u~ar rather ~han plura?, so °businesses'" has been changed to "b~sinass'". In addition, t~z word °may° has beer added si~~ce nc~ al~ -~etai~ bu~~nesses provide incidental szrvices Grader Averaqe Natural The ~roposed de`inition wculd change the required corner points for determining average natural grade ~ram the four corners of the Nroperty to th~ ~orner points at the rear and front setbacks at }he sid~ setback l~res This is a r~=inement o~ ~he aefin~tior approved by the Planr_ing Co~rrnission, which used the intersect~on af t~~ frcr_t and -rear setbacks with the side property lines, rath~r tha-~ the s-de s~tback lines Use of ;~he s~de setbaek 'ines rather ~.han parcz~ lines would reduce the probabi?i~y o~ more extreme and unbuildable ~levations bping used ~-or the ca~cu~ation. The overall ~ntent of the defini~ion revis~on approvec ~y the Planning Commission, and fur~her refined by sYaf= ~s to calculate average natural grade ~o~ the bui~dable area cf ~he property I~ addit~on, as recammended by staff, - ~0 - Average Na~ural Grade calculations would bz requir~d to be performed on three equal port~ons oL the proper~y ta mandate that th~ heig~t of development better follow thz slope of the land. Tne Planni~g Commission had approvea t~is met~odology as an cption, how~ver staff reco~~ends that it be required ~or parczls with si~nificant grade differential so that t=~e neight of buildings fo~lows tze slope of the larsd. Diagrams which compare thz exist-rg and proposed definit~on for both upslaping and downsleping pa~cels are contained in Attachment B. ~rade, ^heoretical. rhz ~roposed c~zange ~s to clarify that theor2tica~ grade is used in the Oc~an Park Dis~ricts Gracery Star~. Tre proposed definitian is added since zt is used in other parts of the Code. mhe minirnum 3,000 square foot flaor area has bee~ inclu~ed to distinguish "~rocery stare" from thz smaller "ne~~hbarhood groczry store". Grocery ~tare, Ne,_ahbornood. Tr_is definition has been moved frcrr. "tie~ghborhood Grocery Store" ~abitab~e Space Th~.s de~~.r::~tzon is bea~ng del.ete~. since it is rot used -n the Code Ho;re Occapa~~on and ~or~e Occu~ation Perrnit . Thes2 two terms are being de'e~ed frcm the Definit~ons section since Part 9 04 20 04 of th~ Code ~ddresses home occupations Inca.dental Food Service A proposzd change is to clarify that incidental taod service includes not only the sale and consu-rption o~ food but also bev2rages. A second char:ge is to prpvid~ rnore clear parameters as to the size of an arEa ~hat can be devoted to ~n~.^idental food service. The proposzd def_r_ition wo~~d limit tre size of an area devoted to incidental foad service to less than 25~~ square feet and would also restrict the use to a maximum of 20 seats, insidz - 11 - and ou~sid~. Ir. addition, the size cf the incidental use relative to t:2 principal use would be restricted to na mare thar_ 33~ of th2 prirnary use floor area. Final~y, barriers or other elemer•.ts ~o define the szat_ng area would be reau~red and table service would be s~eci~ically prchibited. S~aff experienC~ is that the inc~dental use should be no rnore than 330 of the primary use in order ~or it ~o be truly "inc~dental". The reason for the limitatio~ on nurr~er of seats and area relative to the prir;lary use ~s to rlinimize ~he potential impac~s that hav~ arisen from this typ2 of use, such as the conversian into a full service restaura~t without compliance with oth~r requirements incl~:ding parking. Kitche~. 'I'he ~errn "intended to be" is deleted sinC~ it 3s not nec~ssary. L~cucr Sto~e. This terr;~ is be~ng added since i~ is used in other parts of the Ccde A sentence has been added ~o define a win~ s~or~. ~ivinq Area. The ~ronosed change is to clari~y the definition. Lof~ This ae~inition has be~n clarified to dzfine a loft as a mezzar_lne ~ot. Thrau~hout tne definiticn section, a change is being made from "lot" ~c "~arcel". Rather than delete the term, reference is r~ade to the term "parcel". Medical Use. This term is b2ircr add~~ since it is used in o~her ~arts of ~he Code, both ir_ uses allowed within different districts and in thE nGrking sec~~an. Mezzar.ine This de=initic~ is mod~fied to provide parameters of what can be lccated in a mezzanine. The d~=inition is clarified trat thz rnezzanine van be open to "one roo-n" rather than tne - ?2 - "~paca belcw" A sentence is adazd {previcus'y under ~he de~init~on for "story"i to state ~ha~ a mezzanine is cdnsidered a story i~ thz ~zzzanine floor area exceeds 1/3 of t~e total floor area o- thz room ~elow. Tris defini4io~ is the ~r.terpretation tha~ has been adcpted by t~e Planning Commission. ~r~ addition, t^e Plann~r_g Cc~mis~ion recommended that a batrroom or closet, not greater thar_ '00 square feet, may be Fzrmitted in the ~ezzanire a~ea Staff believes ~ha~ ~he clos2t and bathroam prcvision should be de~eted and is not consis~ent with the ~ntent of a rnezzanine as an open intermediate floor area. The rnzzzaninz areas a-re typica_=y =ncluded in new development as an inter~edia4e flcor that is not counted as a~Mcry. Therefore, staff ~e-ievzs ~hat restrictions that =r~sure the area rerna~ns as an inc~dental s~Gce are appropriate. Minor Repair of Vehic?ES This tzrm is being dzlet~d because ather seetions of th~ code refer to automobile repair and do r~ct refer to minor repairs. ~ob~lehome Par~.

Th~s de£~n~t~on was ~reviously ur~der "camman oben space" ana is rJ21I:C moved unde~ "o~en space" . The proposed cha~ge of the definition itself is ~o nrovi3e a mor~ detailed detin~tion o~ what canstitutes corr~~ror_ o~en space. Op~n S~ace, Privat~.
