6a) CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE
CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING DECKS AND PORCHES
AS AN ALLOWABLE ENCROACHMENT INTO CERTAIN
RESIDENTIAL YARD SETBACK AREAS AND ADDING NEW
DEFINITIONS OF DECKS AND PORCHES.
Secretary to the Planning Commission Tim Benetti went over the ordinance amendment process
and the proposed changes to the ordinance under sections 35-400 and 35-900.
PC Minutes
11-12-15 -2- DRAFT
Chair Christensen asked if the word “unattached” should be taken out of the deck definition
under section 35-900. Mr. Benetti stated that he would like to keep it because the deck language
is universal and he would like to keep “attached to a dwelling” under PORCH, ENCLOSED and
PORCH, UNENCLOSED because there is a definition for accessory structures.
Chair Christensen asked if a gazebo would not be allowed if there was already a shed on the
property. Mr. Benetti and Director of Business & Development Gary Eitel stated that the code
has always allowed for two accessory structures and the garage is considered an accessory
structure.
Commissioner MacMillan inquired about tuck under garages. Mr. Benetti replied that any garage
is considered an accessory structure and in order for it not to be considered a garage, the
appearance needs to be altered and the door needs to be removed. He stated that after work is
done on the Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinances are updated and this ordinance is in need of
an update. He asked Commissioners to keep this issue in mind when the ordinance is being
updated.
Commissioner Sweeney inquired about the “PORCH, ENCLOSED” definition allowing for the
porch to be heated and previous concerns about residents using the structure as living quarters.
She asked how this can be prevented. Mr. Benetti replied that this would be a code enforcement
issue and if the porch is turned into a living space, it will never meet building code requirements.
Additionally, there would be a problem with selling the house and passing inspection.
Chair Christensen asked if there should be a definition for platform. Discussion took place on
what constituted a platform. It was decided that a definition was not necessary.
Mr. Benetti went over the allowable encroachments for front decks and porches illustration and
stated that it would be included in the City’s deck and accessory structure pamphlet. He asked
Commissioners how they felt about allowing residents to install a wrap-around deck and asked if
Commissioners want to re-weigh the 50% of the face of the house and 240 square foot size
thresholds.
Commissioner Tade asked if the wrap-around deck would be considered one deck. Mr. Benetti
answered affirmatively.
Mr. Benetti stated the ordinance would have to be changed and that he thought the maximum
allowable size of the deck was directed by the Housing Commission.
Commissioner Tade stated her concern about the illustration was that it showed two decks on
one house and it could be misleading.
Discussion took place regarding the illustration and Mr. Benetti stated that in order to avoid
confusion he would take out the building setbacks and show the minimums.
Mr. Eitel stated that this ordinance change is addressing the permitted encroachment into a
regulated setback area.
PC Minutes
11-12-15 -3- DRAFT
Commissioner Sweeney asked if “for illustration purposes only” wording needed to be added to
the corner lot diagram. Mr. Benetti replied that this will not be for the ordinance and there is no
current ability to put an illustration into building code.
Commissioner Sweeney confirmed that people would not get the idea that they could put two
decks on. Mr. Benetti replied that they would not and that this illustration will go in a pamphlet.
He stated that if the Commission wanted to allow for a wrap-around deck, Planning Staff would
present ideas or suggestions to the Housing Commission and the ordinance could be adjusted.
Chair Christensen asked if the ordinance is prohibiting a porch running the entire length of the
home and referenced townhome development architecture that contain this element. Mr. Benetti
stated that the ordinance would prohibit this.
Chair Christensen stated that he would like residents to have the ability to put a porch on the
whole width of the house and talked about how the ordinance would allow for neighbors to have
different size decks.
Discussion took place regarding the implications of taking out the following from the ordinance:
“the width of the allowable deck or porch does not exceed 20-feet or fifty percent (50%) of the
face of the house, excluding the garage, whichever is greater;” and leaving the following in the
ordinance: “the maximum allowable size of the deck or porch does not exceed 240 square feet in
total size;”.
Mr. Benetti stated that Councilmembers have previously said they wanted to encourage front
yard use and that was the goal of the ordinance. He believes that an allowance for an extension
on the width and a 240 square foot limitation would be sufficient.
Chair Christensen stated that he prefers that the 50% width limitation be taken out of the
ordinance.
Commissioner Tade asked if a variance could be used for residents with larger houses. Mr.
Benetti replied affirmatively.
There was a majority consensus to remove “the width of the allowable deck or porch does not
exceed 20-feet or fifty percent (50%) of the face of the house, excluding the garage, whichever is
greater;” from the ordinance.
Mr. Benetti will adjust the illustration and bring it back before the Commission as an open
discussion item and will include it as part of the City Council’s information packet.

COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION WITH THE REMOVAL OF “THE WIDTH OF THE

PC Minutes

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Planning Commissioners
FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development
Tim Benetti, Planning & Zoning Specialist/Planning Commission Secretary
DATE: December 17, 2015
RE: Re-consideration of Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances
regarding Decks and Porches as an Allowable Encroachment into Certain Residential
Yard Setback Areas and Adding New Definitions of Decks and Porches.
Attached for the Planning Commission’s review and re-consideration is the proposed Draft
Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances regarding Decks and Porches as
an Allowable Encroachment into Certain Residential Yard Setback Areas and Adding New
Definitions of Decks and Porches.
After the Planning Commission meeting last November, city staff conferred internally, and there
appeared to be some confusion and concerns regarding the addition of decks in the new ordinance
language, and why was planning advocating for decks themselves as an allowable front-yard
setback encroachment. One main concern is that decks, especially wooden or wood treated decks,
may become weathered or grayed after a few years, and may detract or reduce the overall nice
appearance of the front areas of residences.
Staff reviewed the previous minutes from the Housing Commission, and noted in the April 30,
2015 memo to the Planning Commission that the [Housing Commission] suggested that front
porches should not be enclosed; nor should they be screened-in, to avoid porches being used as
added “living space” or “take away the benefit of porches allowing neighbors to be more
connected.”
At the November 17th meeting of the Housing Commission, the Commission was again asked
their opinion or recommendations related to the “intent” of the front porch and deck ordinance
language. The staff liaison to the Housing Commission verbally reported afterwards to city
planning staff that the Housing Commission was not too keen on allowing decks as an allowable
encroachment in front yards; stipulated that any front yard porch should have a roof; and further
required all porches should be of the same type of construction and material of the house. These
Nov. 17th meeting minutes are attached for your review.

Planning staff has revised/amended the language once again (with red text) for the Planning
Commission’s review and consideration. The ordinance now reflects the elimination of decks as
an allowable encroachment in the front yards. Staff has also maintained the language that the
porch, including the roof, must be architecturally compatible with dwelling.
Please note Planning Staff is choosing to leave in the definition of “Deck” for now; as this is an
important feature that can and should be identified and defined under City Code Sect. 35-900.
Planning Staff is requesting the Planning Commission to review the amended ordinance
language very carefully, and upon the conclusion of a presentation, allow for discussion between
the Commissioners and city staff as necessary. Depending on the outcome of this discussion,
staff intends to present this item back to the City Council sometime in January 2016 for their
review and determination if this ordinance can move forward.
If you have any questions or comments prior to next Thursday night’s meeting on this item,
please call Gary at (763) 569-3305 or Tim at (763) 569-3319. Thank you.
