ZTA #2018-01 2017 Zoning Ordinance Annual Updates

City Council Land Use Committee October 26, 2017

Overview

• Annual review of the zoning ordinance:
• To make technical corrections and updates.
• To ensure that the code remains in compliance with

current requirements of state and federal laws.

• 2017 updates includes changes to address two state

laws (Small Cell Wireless and Short-Term Rentals) and four technical corrections.

Short-Term Rentals

• Zoning ordinance permits the short-term rental of

property as long as a dwelling unit is not used as a boardinghouse.

• Proposed ZTA would:
• Clarify prohibition on boardinghouses and, consistent with

new state law, reduce the maximum number of consecutive days for a residential guest to stay from 45 to 30.

• Increase maximum number of consecutive days for a Bed

and Breakfast from 14 to 30.

Small Cell Wireless

• New state law for small cell

wireless facilities requires localities to permit these facilities by-right.

• Proposed ZTA would permit

these facilities by-right but adds requirements:

• Historic district review and

approval

• Screening requirements
• Removal when a facility is

discontinued

Recommendation

• Technical changes:
• Requirements for accessory lot coverage
• Non-conforming lots
• Parking for professional personal service uses
• Height waivers, with an approved SUP, in residential

zoning districts

• Staff and Planning Commission recommend

approval of ZTA #2018-01.
