1171.01 PURPOSE.
   It is the purpose of this Chapter to regulate accessory uses and structures in order to promote the public health, safety, and welfare by permitting such structures and uses to be established in a manner that makes them compatible with the principal use of the property at issue and harmonious with all uses upon adjacent properties.
(Ord. 37-13. Passed 8-12-13.)
1171.02 DEFINITION.
   "Accessory Structure or Use" means a structure or use that: (1) is subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the principal use; (2) contributes to the comfort, convenience, or necessity of the principal use; and (3) is located on the same lot and in the same zoning district as the principal use. Examples of accessory structures include, but are not limited to, detached garages, carports, sheds, greenhouses, decks, patios, gazebos, swimming pools (above or below ground), hot tubs, pergolas, and permanent athletic/recreational facilities (tennis courts, basketball courts, etc). For purposes of these regulations, a fence shall not be considered an accessory structure but shall still require a Certificate of Zoning Compliance. An example of an accessory use, as distinguished from an accessory structure, is a home occupation. Refer to Chapters 1133 and 1173 for more definitions of specific accessory structures or uses.
