Accessory buildings are allowed in all zoning districts subject to permitting requirements except as exempted under § 155.071 of this chapter and the following standards.
(A) No accessory building shall be located or within ten feet of any principal residential building.
(B) No accessory building shall be located in any required side yard.
(C) Recreational vehicles (RVs) may be kept on lots, but no RV parks are permitted, and RVs may not be occupied as residences or on a basis exceeding 14 days consecutively or for more than 30 days per calendar year.
(D) No accessory building shall be located in any required front yard in the residential districts, with the following exception: storm shelters, fallout shelters and similar shelters to protect human life during periods of danger may be constructed in the required front yard, but no part of the building may protrude above the average grade of the lot. In addition, such buildings with impervious surfaces shall be calculated against the lot’s permitted lot coverage.
(E) For those uses listed as a conditional use, the addition of accessory buildings that expand a conditional use beyond what may have been reviewed under a conditional use permit process require review as a conditional use.
(F) For non-conforming uses, the addition of accessory buildings that expand the non-conformity shall not be permitted without approval of a variance. For purposes of this requirement, non-conformity is increased if any portion of a required yard would be diminished by the proposed activity.
