(Ord. 1995-43. Passed 8-2-95.)
The conversion of any building into a dwelling, or the conversion of any dwelling so as to accommodate an increased number of dwelling units or families, shall be permitted only within the zoning district in which the new use is permitted under this Zoning Ordinance. Such conversion shall be permitted only after obtaining a certification of zoning and otherwise complying with the other provisions of this Zoning Ordinance, and only when the resulting occupancy will comply with the requirements governing new residential construction in such district with respect to minimum lot size, lot area per dwelling unit, dimensions of yards and other open spaces, and off-street parking. Each conversion shall be subject also to such further requirements as may be specified hereinafter with the chapter applying to such district.
(Ord. 1973-44. Passed 12-18-73.)
(a) An accessory building may be erected as an integral part of a principal building, or it may be connected thereto by a breezeway or other similar structure.
(b) An accessory building may be erected detached from the principal building. No detached accessory building shall be erected in any required yard except a rear yard, and shall not occupy more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the area of the required rear yard and shall be located a minimum of five feet from lot lines. For computing the percentage of occupancy of a rear yard, as required herein, if a detached accessory building is connected to the principal building by a breezeway, the ground area of such breezeway shall be considered as a part of the accessory building and be included in the computation. (Notwithstanding the above, accessory buildings to be located on properties in excess of four (4) acres or larger (may (i) occupy no more than forty five percent (45%) of the rear yard, and (ii) must be no larger than two thousand (2,000) square feet in total size (as specifically approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission upon recommendation by the Zoning Inspector).
(c) Any accessory building, if not located in the rear yard, shall be an integral part of, or connected with, the principal building to which it is an accessory, and shall be so placed as to meet all yard requirements for a principal building of the same height and other dimensions as such accessory building. (Ord. 2023-04. Passed 2-15-23.)
