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.)
"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.
(Ord. 37-13. Passed 8-12-13.)
The following general development standards apply to all accessory structures regardless of the use of the principal structure:
(a) Area. The square footage of an accessory structure shall not exceed the square footage of the principal structure regardless of lot size, and may be required to follow more restrictive standards based on the Principle Use of the property as set forth in this Chapter.
(b) Location. Accessory Structures and Uses shall not be placed or operated within easements or Village owned Right of Way.
(c) Number. No more than one Accessory Structure of any single type shall be permitted in the following zoning districts: Low Density Residential; Medium Density Residential; Old Town Residential; and single family areas in a Planned District. Accessory Structures in all other zoning districts require a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine the maximum number of Accessory Structures permitted at the time of issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.
No more than one Accessory Use is permitted in the following zoning districts: Low Density Residential; Medium Density Residential; Old Town Residential; and single family areas in a Planned District. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine the maximum number of Accessory Structures and Uses permitted in all other zoning districts at the time a Conditional Use Permit is issued.
(d) Height. Accessory Structures shall not exceed fourteen (14) feet in height with the exception of detached garages which may be up to eighteen (18) feet in height or the highest peak of the principal structure, whichever is most restrictive.
(e) Living quarters. Accessory buildings may not be used for living quarters.
(f) Lot coverage. Any accessory structure (1) covered by a roof or, (2) consisting of an impervious or paved surface - including decking - shall be counted toward the maximum lot coverage permitted in the applicable zoning district.
(g) Accessory buildings without main building. In any district, no permanent Accessory Structure shall be constructed before construction of the principal building. (Ord. 37-13. Passed 8-12-13.)
(a) Types permitted. The following Accessory Structures and Uses are permitted in association with a single family residential use; and, provided the applicant has obtained a Certificate of Zoning Compliance as required under Section 1183.02:

(1) Lots less than 21,780 square feet. Thirty-five percent (35%) of the square footage of the principal structure as set forth on the Franklin County Auditor's website, subject to Village confirmation, or 480 square feet, whichever is less restrictive.
(2) Lots between 21,781 square feet and 32,670 square feet. Thirty-five percent (35%) of the square footage of the principal structure as set forth on the Franklin County Auditor's website, subject to Village confirmation, or 640 square feet, whichever is less restrictive.
