CONSIDERA TIONS:
I. Section 6-84 states that detached garages are not permitted in residential areas, unless
attached by a "breezeway, passage or otherwise."
2. On March 11, 2002, the City Commission directed the City Attorney to review Section 6-84
and advise the city Commission on whether amendments to Section 6-84 are needed and to
determine under what circumstances detached garages would be an acceptable use.
3. Staff recommends that Section 6-84 be amended to achieve two primary objectives:
. Amend Section 6-84 to clarify the definition of accessory building and to exclude
detached garages.
. Establish specific regulations for detached garages, especially on large lots zoned single
family.
4. On May 1,2002, the Planning Zoning Board recommended approval of Ordinance 2002-14.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff suggests that the City Commission schedule a workshop to consider recommendations
related to codes governing Accessory Buildings and Detached Garages.
