The Commission proposed several changes to the drafts <br /> allowing more flexibility in terms of size and to consider the possibility of <br /> architectural standards on metal skin buildings. Please refer to the attached <br /> memo from the January 25, 1994, Planning Commission meeting which <br /> explains the ordinance amendments in detail. The following is a summary of <br /> the changes the Planning Commission requested. These changes have been <br /> incorporated into the proposed ordinance. <br /> 1. In the Al zoning district, the total size of detached accessory buildings <br /> and attached garages was increased from 2,500 square feet to 3,000 <br /> square feet. <br /> 2. In the R1A zoning district, the total area of detached accessory <br /> buildings and attached garages was increased from 1,500 square feet <br /> to 2,000 square feet. Most of the requests in the R1A zoning district <br /> for general storage buildings, were between 1,200 and 1,400 square <br /> • feet. By increasing the standard to 2,000 square feet, it should <br /> considerably reduce the requests to exceed maximum standards. <br /> P.O.
