(a) All accessory uses and accessory structures shall require a Zoning Permit. Accessory uses and accessory structures shall be permitted in all districts, provided each is customarily incidental and subordinate to a principal use. There must be a principal use or structure on the lot prior to the issuance of a Zoning Permit for an accessory use or structure.

(c) Except as provided elsewhere in this code, no accessory structure shall be constructed and used as a dwelling. Provided, however, that one residential unit for a caretaker may be permitted in conjunction with any active industrial establishment.
(d) Accessory structures shall be no more than 75% the height of the principal structure height and in no circumstance be higher than the applicable zoning district's maximum height requirement.
(e) Accessory structures such as sheds and detached garages shall not be placed in the front yard and shall be situated no closer than 3 feet from any lot line.
(f) In no situation shall an accessory structure be larger than the principal structure or greater than 600 square feet, not including fences and other permitted screening devices, whichever is less. (Passed 10-3-17)
