Accessory structures

The following shall apply to the floor area of all accessory structures:

 

In addition, the following shall apply to all accessory structures:

• • A. In no case shall any accessory structure have a gross floor area which is greater than 50 percent of the above grade gross floor area of the principal building. In the case of accessory dwelling units, see [section] 82-1201.2 A. for maximum size requirements.

  • B. The following height standards will apply, depending on the height of the principal building on the lot in keeping with Table 6-2:

• Where the principal building is no higher than one story, the height of an accessory structure shall not exceed the height of the principal building.

• Where the principal building is higher than one story, the height of an accessory structure shall not exceed a point five feet lower than the height of the principle building.

• • C. Agricultural structures within the RR-80 and RR-200 are exempt from these provisions.

  • D. Accessory structures are permitted in front yards but must meet the principal building setback and receive approval by the TRC. In cases where the primary setback cannot be achieved in the Jamestown Village Special Development District, the secondary front setback may be utilized only after review and recommendation by the TRC and a dimensional variance received by the zoning board. In cases where the primary setback cannot be achieved in the R-40, R-80, RR-200 zoning districts, approval by the TRC is required. In addition to the considerations of the zoning board found in section 82-300, the TRC and Zoning Board will consider the standards of the Jamestown Pattern Book and Design Guidelines for Building in the Village, including, but not limited to, the guidance for garages and ancillary structures, and whether efforts will be made to screen the accessory structure from any public ways or neighboring residential uses.
