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 /> <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 /> <br />2. <br /> <br />In the RIA 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 RIA 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 /> <br />. <br /> <br />P.O.
