Residential Matrix Text noted in blue below reflects discussion and additional use considerations made by the Commission at the February 23, 2010 work session. Accessory Apartments 1. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-1 zone. 2. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-1S zone. 3. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-2 zone. 4. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-2U zone. 5. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-UMD zone. 6. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the R-UHD zone. 7. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the MR zone. 8. No longer permit internal accessory apartments by right in the MHP zone. 9. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the R-1 zone. 10. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the R-1S zone. 11. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the R-2 zone. 12. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the R-UMD zone. 13. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the R-UHD zone. 14. Permit internal accessory apartments by provisional use permit in the MR zone. 15. No longer permit external accessory apartments by right in the MHP zone. Staff opinion is that the designation of internal accessory apartments as by right in the residential zones was made in error in a previous amendment of the ordinance, and that internal accessory apartments should be treated the same way as external accessory apartments. The provisional use permit process provides a verification that the owner understands the regulations they must abide to legally have an accessory apartment. Eliminating accessory apartments in the MHP zone primarily serves to eliminate any potential conflicts between a Mobile Home site plan and the zoning regulations. Permitting internal accessory apartments in the R-2U zone has been a topic of discussion in the past. Staff feels that permitting such apartments is a redundant regulation given that properties so zoned are permitted have two units per lot as a matter of right. The internal layout of those units and the ownership structure is not a matter of public concern, provided they meet all applicable codes. Accessory Apartment changes Ms. Creasy recapped the discussion that occurred in January about this item. Mr. Pearson noted that he felt it would be a way to educate the public on the requirements for internal accessory apartments. Commissioners wanted to know why additional oversight was needed on this use. Mr. Pearson noted an example in his neighborhood where additional education and having a permit on file may have been helpful. It was noted that this was an item the Commission wanted to talk about at the regular meeting to assist in educating citizens about the requirements. Accessory Structures 16. Permit accessory structures by-right in the MHP zone. Staff feels it is proper to permit persons residing in a mobile home area to have small accessory structures such as sheds, which would not be currently permitted. 1
- no discussion needed. Adult Assisted Living 17. Permit adult-assisted living facilities of 3 or less residents by right in the MR zone. 18. Permit adult-assisted living facilities of 4 or more residents by special use in the MR zone. This change would bring the MR zone into line with the other multi-family residential zones in the City with regards to this use. - no discussion needed. Adult Day Care 19. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-1 zone. 20. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-1 zone. 21. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-1U zone. 22. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-1S zone. 23. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-1SU zone. 24. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-2 zone. 25. Permit adult day care by special use in the R-2U zone. 26. No longer permit adult day care by special use in the R-3 zone. 27. Permit adult day care by right in the R-3 zone. 28. Permit adult day care by right in the R-UMD zone. 29. Permit adult day care by right in the R-UHD zone. 30. Permit adult day care by right in the MR zone. Staff feels that adult day care and child day care should be treated the same in the zoning ordinance. This group of changes would enact this change. - no discussion needed. Convent/Monastery 31. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-1 zone. 32. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-1U zone. 33. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-1S zone. 34. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-1SU zone. 35. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-2 zone. 36. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-2U zone. 37. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-3 zone. 38. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-UMD zone. 39. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the R-UHD zone. 40. No longer permit convents and monasteries by right in the MR zone. 41. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-1 zone. 42. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-1U zone. 43. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-1S zone. 44. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-1SU zone. 2
45. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-2 zone. 46. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-2U zone. 47. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-3 zone. 48. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-UMD zone. 49. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the R-UHD zone. 50. Permit convents and monasteries by special use permit in the MR zone. The definition of convent/monasteries does not set a limit on the number of residents. Staff feels the best method to insure that a religious residential facility is not out of scale with the neighborhood is to permit them by special use. Boarding House/Convent and Monasteries Mr. Emory reminded the group about Ms. Keller s concern about the boarding house definition. He suggested that perhaps there should be review of limiting the number of people who may reside in these units. Mr. Keesecker noted that the proposed convent/monastery changes could put it at odds with the by-right permission for houses of worship. Mr. Pearson noted that there are a number of uses that fall under group housing and there is concern about those definitions and what they look like. It would make sense to have a discussion about all of these including definitions and parking requirements. The Commission agreed to put the discussion of all group housing on hold until after this process occurs and look at it holistically in a separate process. Criminal Justice Facilities 51. No longer permit criminal justice facilities in the R-UHD zone. Staff feels that criminal justice facilities are not compatible with multi-family residential zones. - no discussion needed. Home Occupation 52. Permit home occupations by provisional use in the MHP zone. This change would permit residents of a mobile home park to operate home occupations, as is permitted in all other residential zones. - no discussion needed. Residential Treatment Facility 53. Permit residential treatment facilities of 1-8 residents in the R-UMD zone. 54. Permit residential treatment facilities of 1-8 residents in the R-UHD zone. This change reflects a state regulation that residential treatment facilities of 8 or less residents be treated as singlefamily residences. - no discussion needed. Mr. Rosensweig questioned why these facilities would not be permitted for eight or more (8+) residents in these two zones. He requested some staff analysis be put into this question (see below). Private Clubs 3
55. No longer permit private clubs in the R-1 zone. 56. No longer permit private clubs in the R-1U zone. 57. No longer permit private clubs in the R-1S zone. 58. No longer permit private clubs in the R-1SU zone. 59. No longer permit private clubs in the R-2 zone. 60. No longer permit private clubs in the R-2U zone. Staff feels that the traffic private clubs can generate, and the potential for extended operating hours, means that they are not compatible within the low density residential districts. Private Clubs Mr Pearson noted that this should be discussed because there may be times when this is appropriate. Staff noted that through the SUP process the impacts could be addressed but clubs could change hands to different groups without going through any additional process if the group was following the approval. Commissioners were leaning toward staff recommendation but first wanted to know if any SUP s had been issued for private clubs in low density residential areas. There has been one SUP for a private club the Boy s and Girl s Club. Staff continues to support the proposed changes. It can be noted by looking at the future items in the cover memo that the creation of a definition for a community center would address this use. Laundromats 61. Permit laundromats as an ancillary use in the MHP zone. Staff finds that Laundromats could exist in a mobile home park as an ancillary use that would serve nearby residents. - no discussion needed. Libraries 62. Permit libraries by-right in the MHP zone. This change would bring the MHP zone into line with the other residential zones with regards to this use. - no discussion needed. Municipal/Governmental Offices, Buildings, Courts 63. Permit municipal/governmental offices, buildings, courts by special use in the MHP zone. This change would bring the MHP zone into line with the other residential zones with regards to this use. - no discussion needed. Property Management Offices 64. Permit property management offices by ancillary use in the MHP zone. 4
65. No longer permit property management offices by ancillary use in the R-2 zone. 66. No longer permit property management offices by ancillary use in the R-2U zone. Staff can see no reason to permit property management offices in the R-2 zones, since R-2 zones are low-density residential areas, and property management offices serve high-density developments. Staff feels property management offices are an appropriate ancillary use in a MHP zone. No discussion needed on #64 Property Management Mr. Rosensweig noted that he could see situations where property management could be by ancillary use in R-2 and R-2U. He felt that staff s rationale was too broad and generalized. He mentioned the Longwood Drive development. Prior to the PUD designation, it could have been useful to have this use on site due to the number of units. Discussion occurred about whether it would be feasible to have that use limited to only that site or would people from other developments be driving in to drop off rent checks. Ms. Creasy outlined recent discussions about model homes and how that was to be handled. It was noted that consideration of property management in R-2 and R-2U by SUP might be an option. Items Added by Commissioners MHP uses 67. Add Occupancy, residential 3 unrelated persons by-right in the MHP zone 68. Add Occupancy, residential 4 unrelated persons by-right in the MHP zone 69.

Add B&B by SUP in the R-2U Zone Bed and Breakfast Mr. Rosensweig noted that there were areas of the City where the Planning Commission felt that a B&B could be appropriate in a low density residential area. He noted that bed and breakfasts were available in more zones now, but more restrictive as well. He felt that City Council needed additional information on the topic. His request was to revisit the original recommendation and start a dialogue with Council. Planning Commission original recommended B&B s by SUP in low density residential. Council changed that in the approved version and he would like to discuss that again in the context of this review. *resources needed for discussion PC staff report and minutes, Council staff report and minutes Elementary /High Schools 77.

Permit Education facilities High School by SUP in the R-1SU Zone 99. Permit Education facilities High School by SUP in the R-2 Zone 100. Permit Education facilities High School by SUP in the R-2U Zone Schools Mr. Keesecker felt schools and daycares should be treated the same. After a brief discussion on the possibility of different regulations for public and private schools, it was determined that the impacts are similar and that Elementary schools and High Schools should be by SUP to mirror daycare and universities. The specific impacts discussed were traffic and parking. Residential Treatment Facilities 101. Permit residential treatment facilities of 8+ residents by SUP in the R-UMD zone. 102. Permit residential treatment facilities of 8+ residents by SUP in the R-UHD zone. As noted above, Mr. Rosensweig asked why these facilities were not allowed in the R-UMD and R-UHD districts. After staff discussion about this, it was felt that consideration of this should be a part of the group housing discussion. 6
