City Council received a request for consideration from the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio (BIA) in January 2010, citing concerns with the costs for special permit applications and the current financial difficulties that the housing market is experiencing. In response to the issues discussed by Council, Planning prepared draft Code language that the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed at their May 20, 2010 meeting and recommended for approval at their June 10, 2010 meeting. Description The proposed Code amendment includes the deletion of Code Section 153.098, which required the special permit process for model homes. Much of the existing review criteria was relocated into the proposed administrative approval process added as a new paragraph (D) to Code Section 153.073, Comprehensive Residential and Neighborhood Improvement. The proposed amendments are summarized below. Duration. The proposed modification allows the Administrative Officer (Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning or designee) to approve a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval to operate a model home for up to two years. Two -year renewals may be approved by the Administrative Officer until the development is 75% occupied, and one -year renewals may be approved until the development is 95% occupied. Sales trailers are permitted for up to two years or until a model home or alternative sales facility can be constructed, whichever occurs first. Criteria. The proposed Code modifications include review criteria for model homes that are consistent with those previously listed in Code Section 153.098, as well as other considerations that have had conditioned approvals by the Board of Zoning Appeals, such as limitations on lighting. • Notices. Land Use and Long Range Planning will notify any registered homeowners associations and all property owners within 300 feet of the site of proposed model homes, sales offices, or sales trailers at least 14 days prior to approval of a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval. Memo re. Ordinance 26 -10 Model Homes in Residential Districts June 25, 2010 Page 2 of 2 Definitions. The proposed Code modification includes the relocation of several terms that were previously defined in Code Section 153.098 to Section 153.002 with the rest of the Zoning Code definitions for consistency. Other Modifications. Minor amendments were also made to Zoning Code Sections 153.053 (G) (2) (b) and 153.161 for consistency. Recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission The proposed new process was discussed with the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Board had no objection to the change. At their May 20, 2010 meeting, the proposed Code language was first presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission, who were generally supportive of the proposed amendments. The Commissioners discussed several modifications, including provisions for the removal and property restoration related to all improvements made for the use of the model home, and modifications to the notice requirements to allow opportunity for public comment. The Planning and Zoning Commission also requested the addition of provisions to permit the construction of separate parking lots for model homes. The Commissioners were concerned that in some circumstances, driveway parking may be insufficient, and that on- street parking may impede traffic flow through some neighborhoods. The approved language would limit the location of parking areas so that the pavement does not project beyond the front or rear planes of the adjacent model home, and parking lots would not be permitted adjacent to any other developed lot. Additionally, the provision would require this parking lot to obtain a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to construction. At the June 10, 2010 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommendation for approval to City Council. Recommendation Planning recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 26 -10 at the second reading/public hearing on August 9, 2010.

(Approved 6 — 0.) 4. Model Homes in Residential Districts 10- 022ADM Code Amendment Chris Amorose Groomes introduced this proposed Code Amendment regarding model homes in residential districts. She explained that the Commission had reviewed this Code Amendment at the previous Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and that the draft language had been revised to reflect their comments. She asked if any of the Commission members had any comments on the revised language. Kevin Walter referred to Page 5 of the draft Code language, 153.073 (D) (2) (v) and recalled the discussion at the previous meeting about removing the landscaping associated with model home signs placed in the front yards of model homes. He requested that associated landscaping be added to the text. Ms. Ray said it would be added. John Hardt acknowledged that the Commission requested the Code language in Section 153.073 (D) (2) (vi), but he observed that in the middle of that paragraph, Parking lots shall not extend behind the rear elevation or project forward of the front elevation of the model home, sounded like a good idea, but for typical homes, they might end up requiring something that would be dimensionally impossible to build, which he thought was okay. He asked the other Commissioners if that was also their objective, or if they wanted the pavement to be able to encroach in one direction or the other. Ms. Amorose Groomes said she did not think it should be in the front. Mr. Hardt agreed and said that if additional pavement were permitted to the rear, then more pavement would result farther back from the street, which would be more intrusive, particularly on nearby homes and backyards. He explained that if there was a model home that was 30 feet deep, which is typical, then there might only be a 30 -foot deep parking lot, which would be about six parking spaces. Mr. Hardt said he did not want parking lots to be too easy to build. He said if they all agreed that keeping the parking within the building footprint and not in the front or back yards is intuitively the right approach and if in some cases, it would not work, he was okay with it. He said he just wanted to make sure they agreed. He said that builders would have to think about this when they decide which model home to put on the lot. He noted that this would basically be overflow parking, and they did not need to provide many parking spaces. Mr. Hardt said he assumed side yard setbacks still applied. Ms. Ray said they would. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission June 10, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 30 of 39 Ms. Amorose Groomes said that there was only one change to make to this revised document, which was about landscaping related to the model home sign. She confirmed that there were no other Commission or public comments. Motion and Vote Kevin Walter made a motion, seconded by Todd Zimmerman, to forward a recommendation for approval to City Council because this Code Amendment streamlines the approval process for model homes in residential districts by creating an administrative review procedure, with one condition: 1) That model home signs and associated landscaping be removed within 90 days and the property restored to conditions typical of a residential development. The vote was as follows: Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Hardt, yes; Mr. Taylor, no, as he was not in favor of eliminating the Board of Zoning Appeals special permit process for model homes; Mr. Zimmerman, yes; and Mr. Walter, yes. (Approved 5 — l.) X-e ing Code Code Amendm t 3ADM orthy briefly introduced the proposed Parking Code amendment and expl ' ed that from a discussion by City Council. He also explained that the City is a ut to begin and study for the Historic Dis trict analyzing the parking supply an emand in the District. He s ' whatever changes are made to the current Code will ap to the Historic District until mor ecific changes can be made based on the results o e parking demand study. Justin Goodwin presented a mmary of the proposed parking C e. He said the goals intended by the proposed amendment a to provide modern, but flex' e vehicular and bicycle parking standards. He said the parking relations within the curr t Code historically have resulted in more parking than necessary on indi ual sites, which e proposed amendment addresses. He said the proposed Code also incorporates stainable sign standards. Mr. Goodwin said changes to the required min um parking ratios are proposed for various uses, which is one of key elements of the propos and ' s to address one of Council's concerns. He said many of Dublin's parking ratios h been in Zoning Code since the 1980s, and many are outdated and result in excessive ement. He said anging the specific numbers is not the most critical aspect o/ement ause Planning wants to aintain flexibility as well, which is why the concept of stment is being introduc . He said currently it is very difficult to get adjustg, particularly with regard to duced parking. He said the City has a minimum r various uses, and if someone is to provide additional parking on a site it c y easily, but if a user needs less par ' g than Code requires, they must either Zarklipinu ough a variance process, or a rezoning or amended fi 1 development plan process if it lanned district. Mr. Goodwin said the variance process i not designed to address mos issues. Mr. G dwin said sustainable design standards are introduced in the proposed Code t ermit ne ypes of technology, such as pervious pavement.

Planning recommends approval to City Council for the amendment. Update May 20, 2010 PZC Meeting The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed Code amendment at their May 20, 2010 meeting. The Commissioners generally supported the proposed amendments to create an administrative approval process for model homes in residential districts, rather than requiring a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 022ADM I Model Homes in Residential Districts Thursday, June 10, 2010 1 Page 2 of 3 FACTS Summary of Modifications The Commissioners requested several modifications, including: • Provisions for the removal of all improvements related to the use of the structure as a model home and restoration to conditions typical of a residential property; • Deleting the proposed revision that would prohibit garages from being converted to sales offices; • A limitation on interior lighting (to a maximum of two rooms and requiring that all other lighting be turned off by 9:00 p.m. and remain off until 8:00 a.m. daily); • Additional parking requirements, including provisions for parking lots for model homes that would require a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to construction; • Modification to the notice requirements for adjacent property owners and homeowners associations; and • Minor grammatical modifications and language clarifications. Facts Case Background At the April 26, 2010 City Council meeting, Council requested a Zoning Code modification that would permit Land Use and Long Range Planning to approve model homes in residential districts through an administrative process. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to continue to permit model homes in residential districts but develop an administrative approval process that will continue to ensure that residents of new and maturing neighborhoods are protected from potential adverse impacts resulting from model home operations. Code History The special permit process to allow model homes in residential districts was originally approved by City Council in 1990. The Code was subsequently amended in 2007 to consolidate the review criteria for model homes in residential districts and other minor modifications related to the overall modification to the Code Sections related to the Board of Zoning Appeals. (Planning discussed this proposed Code modification with the Board of Zoning Appeals at their April 29, 2010 meeting and the Board had no specific comments on the proposal.) At their January 25, 2010 meeting, City Council granted an extension through 2011 for all model homes that are currently operating. This action was the result of a request for consideration submitted by the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio (BIA), citing concerns with the costs for special permit applications and the current financial difficulties that the housing market is experiencing. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 022ADM I Model Homes in Residential Districts Thursday, June 10, 2010 1 Page 3 of 3 ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION Existing Regulations (Section 153.098) Analysis The Zoning Code currently requires that model homes obtain a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to receiving a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval to begin operating. The Board typically reviewed the proposed model home location, operational details, and appearance to ensure that the model home were consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. Special permits were typically approved for two years in new residential neighborhoods and one year in developed or mature neighborhoods. Nine special permits for model homes were approved in 2009, and eight in 2008. Typically, the Board has approved these applications with little or no discussion and attached a standard set of conditions. These conditions have been made requirements in the proposed amendments Case Procedure Code Section 153.232(B) grants the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to review "amendments to the zoning map and to the zoning ordinance and recommendation of action to Council." The Commission should review the modifications, provide input where desired, and make its recommendation to be forwarded to City Council for final review and approval. Recommendation: Approval Code Amendments In Planning's opinion, the proposed amendment streamlines the approval process for model homes in residential districts by creating an administrative review procedure. Additionally, the proposed modifications provide clear regulations and review criteria for the operation of model homes in residential neighborhoods. Planning recommends approval to City Council of the amendment. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECORD OF ACTION CITY OF DUBLIN.

Ray Planner I [.' f Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 14 of 17 3. Model Homes in Residential Districts 10- 022ADM Code Amendment Steve Langworthy introduced this Code Amendment for model homes in residential districts. He said the discussion for this amendment originated several months ago when the Central Ohio Building Industry Association (BIA) requested a fee reduction for model home special permits. He said Planning reviewed the fees and the special permit process and found that almost every special permit that went before the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) ended up being approved without much discussion with almost always the same conditions of approval. He said when City Council reviewed the letter from the BIA, the idea came up for staff to explore an administrative process for model homes, in part to reduce the fee as well as to streamline the approval process. Rachel Ray highlighted the key provisions of the proposed Code amendment, including relocating provisions for model homes from the Special Permit section to the Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement section, as well as time limits, new review criteria, and notification requirements. She said that the Director or designee would have the authority to approve model homes for two years until the residential district or neighborhood is 75 percent occupied, and after that point, one year approvals could be granted until the neighborhood is 95 percent occupied. Ms. Ray stated that the review criteria has remained largely the same as what currently exists, with the addition of parking requirements and additional architectural standards for garages. John Hardt said he was concerned about the notification provisions since homeowners associations and residents would only be notified after the permit was issued. He said for example, if a model home operated for two years and a neighbor had problems or concerns with it and an application to extend the use of the model home was filed, the adjacent neighbor would have no opportunity to have input into the process. Ms. Ray suggested that if residents had concerns, the concerns would be kept on record for future reviews and perhaps dealt with through the administrative review process. Mr. Hardt asked if the homeowners associations and neighbors could be notified when the model home application was received, giving them a reasonable amount of time to contact the Director if they had concerns. Mr. Langworthy said that the Code could be written to address that concern. Todd Zimmerman referred to the Notices section and requested that property owners within 250 feet be notified. Mr. Langworthy said that would be fine, but suggested that the notification radius be increased to 300 feet for consistency with other application requirements. Richard Taylor asked if the special permit process was being eliminated because of financial hardship for applicants. Ms. Ray said that applicants would still be required to obtain a Certificate of Zoning Approval, which includes a fee for Planning review and notices, although the fee is much less than the special permit fee. Mr. Langworthy explained that the Special Permit provisions cover several different approval types, while model homes are only one type, and they also tend to be the simplest of all Planning cases. He said with this proposed amendment, staff time spent on processing model homes as Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 15 of 17 special permits would be greatly reduced since they would no longer require being approved by the BZA. Mr. Taylor said he was concerned because he sees the home building industry going through a sea change, and he does not know what kinds of model homes there may be in the future. He did not see the hardship involved with these applications, which often involve perfunctory reviews anyway. He said if it was just a simple approval, it should be a simple process with the BZA with a fee that requires homebuilders to take it seriously before they start building model homes everywhere. Mr. Langworthy agreed that the number of model home applications seen in the past will not be typical going forward because large developments are not likely to be common in the future. Mr. Taylor said that because model home activity is currently low, and because there are likely to be significant changes to the home building industry in the future, this amendment seems premature. Mr. Langworthy said that if the Commission desired, the request that model homes continue to require special permits from the BZA could be forwarded to City Council. Amy Kramb asked what a `sales office' looked like, if they were considered model homes or trailers. She asked what else could be allowed in a residential district. Ms. Ray presented a photograph of the Oak Park sales office which is currently operating out of the development's clubhouse. She said the use of the clubhouse as a sales office was approved as part of the special permit process, although the clubhouse itself was part of the rezoning/preliminary development plan and the final development plan applications for the Oak Park development. Kevin Walter said he preferred the administrative process because it would be favorable to businesses. Mr. Zimmerman agreed, and recalled that he had reviewed many model home applications over the three years he served on the BZA. He said they always met the criteria and were generally consent items. He said he had no problem with the administrative approval process. Mr. Langworthy pointed out that over the last four years, he had not seen any opposition to model homes from residents at any BZA meetings. Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested that the Commissioners begin commenting on the proposed Code amendment by section. Mr. Hardt referred to the definition of `Residential Model Home.' He asked for a clarification of the `license' requirement. Ms. Ray explained that the term `licensed homebuilder /developer' was used in the original text. Mr. Langworthy added that homebuilders must be registered by the City. Mr. Hardt requested that `licensed' be replaced with `registered.' He said licensure implies state oversight or some kind of governmental authority to him. Mr. Walter referred to Section 153.073 (D) (2) (c) (i), and said he disagreed with the provision that would prohibit garage conversions to sales offices. He said the intent of a sales office is to sell homes, and getting customers to come to a front door could be more intimidating than going to a sales center in a garage. Mr. Hardt agreed with Mr. Walter. Mr. Langworthy agreed that the section could be eliminated. Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 16 of 17 Mr. Walter referred to Section 153.073 (D) (2) (c) (iii). He was concerned that the portion of the front yard where the sign and landscaping were located would not be fully restored after the sign and landscaping are removed when the model home is no longer in use. Mr. Hardt suggested there be a provision for removal. Ms. Amorose Groomes agreed and said the sign landscaping should also be removed. Mr. Langworthy suggested a provision for removal and restoration. Mr. Zimmerman asked about limiting interior lighting in the model home. Mr. Langworthy said that the two -room limitation on lighting had been inadvertently left out of the amendment, but Planning would make sure to include it. Mr. Walter referred to Section 153.073 (D) (2) (c) (v). He said he was in favor of having a parking area with several parking spaces for the sales facility rather than on- street parking, as long as they were removed when the model home is sold. He asked if it would be a problem to require that the driveways be expanded to include a small parking area. Mr. Langworthy requested that the Commission reconsider that idea because it was hard to have paved area removed. He said that the new homeowners may like the extra parking and request that it remain. Mr. Walter clarified that his concern was that on- street parking interfered with the boulevard in his neighborhood. He suggested the use of parking pavers instead of pavement. Mr. Langworthy said if that was what the Commission wanted, something could be written in the Code to that effect, but it would need a higher level of approval. He said parking areas are more likely to become disruptive to the neighborhood, and they would have to draft a Code that allows stand- alone parking lots in residential districts. Ms. Amorose Groomes requested that Planning explore the issue. Mr. Langworthy agreed to prepare something for review although he was concerned about the potential for unintended consequences. Ms. Kramb referred to Section 153.073 (D) (3) Number of Model Homes, and said the language seemed too vague since `excessive' is not defined. Mr. Walter said this was one place where he saw the homebuilding industry changing. He said he could see a centralized location with two or three model homes for touring in one area, rather than one model home in every subdivision. Jennifer Readler explained that in the event that someone disagrees with Planning's interpretation of `excessive,' there is an appeals process in the Zoning Code. She thought the language was reasonable. Motion and Vote Mr. Walter made the motion to table this proposed Code Amendment. Mr. Fishman seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Taylor, yes; Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Mr. Hardt, yes; Mr. Zimmerman, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; and Mr. Walter, yes.

Planning recommends approval to City Council for the amendment. Facts Case Background At the April 26, 2010 City Council meeting, Council requested a Zoning Code modification that allows Land Use and Long Range Planning to approve model homes in residential districts through an administrative process. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to continue to permit model homes in residential districts but develop an administrative approval process that will continue to ensure that residents of new and maturing neighborhoods are protected from potential adverse impacts resulting from model home operations. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 022ADM I Model Homes in Residential Districts Thursday, May 20, 2010 1 Page 2 of 3 FACTS Code History The special permit process to allow model homes in residential districts was originally approved by City Council in 1990. The Code was subsequently amended in 2007 to consolidate the review criteria for model homes in residential districts and other minor modifications related to the overall modification to the Code Sections related to the Board of Zoning Appeals. (Planning discussed this proposed Code modification with the Board of Zoning Appeals at their April 29, 2010 meeting and the Board had no specific comments on the proposal.) At their January 25, 2010 meeting, City Council granted an extension through 2011 for all model homes that are currently operating. This action was the result of a request for consideration submitted by the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio (BIA), citing concerns with the costs for special permit applications and the current financial difficulties that the housing market is experiencing. Existing Regulations (Section 153.098) The Zoning Code currently requires that model homes obtain a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to receiving a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval to begin operating. The Board reviews the proposed model home location, operational details, and appearance to ensure that the model home will be consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. Special permits are typically approved for two years in new residential neighborhoods and one year in developed or mature neighborhoods. Nine special permits for model homes were approved in 2009, and eight were approved in 2008. Typically, the Board has approved these applications, with little or no discussion, and attached a standard set of conditions. These conditions have been incorporated into the proposed amendments. Proposed Amendments The proposed modification eliminates Code Section 153.098, which requires the special permit process, relocating most of the existing review criteria into the administrative approval process in new provisions of Section 153.073, Comprehensive Residential and Neighborhood Improvement. Section 153.073 The proposed modification creates a new Section 153.073(D), renumbering Sections 153.073(D) and (E) to (E) and (F). The proposed amendment allows the Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning to approve a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval to operate a model home for up to two years. Renewals may be permitted for additional two year increments until the subdivision is 75% occupied. After the development is greater than 75% occupied, Certificates of Zoning Plan Approval may be granted for up to one year intervals until the development is 95% occupied, at which point operation of the model home must be discontinued. Sales trailers are permitted for up to two years or until a model home or alternative sales office can be constructed, whichever occurs first. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 022ADM I Model Homes in Residential Districts Thursday, May 20, 2010 1 Page 3 of 3 ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION Minor modifications are proposed to the review criteria for model homes to provide for locations within a development to facilitate access and identification and external lighting requirements. Planning also recommends placing limitations on garage alterations to sales offices and to include clear sign and parking standards that are consistent with other sections of the Zoning Code and past conditions placed by the Board of Zoning Appeals. As part of this process the City will notify homeowner /condominium associations and all adjacent property owners of any Certificates of Zoning Plan Approval issued for model homes, sales offices, or sales trailers. Definitions (Section 153.002) Definitions pertaining to the model homes in residential districts were added to the Definitions section of the Code for "Residential Model Home," "Sales Offices" and "Sales Trailer." Other Modifications Code Sections 153.053(G)(2)(b) and 153.161(G), Signs for Mode/ Homes were modified to reference the requirements of Section 153.073 (this amendment) rather than 153.098 (special permits). Analysis Case Procedure Code Section 153.232(B) grants the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to review "amendments to the zoning map and to the zoning ordinance and recommendation of action to Council." The Commission should review the modifications, provide input where desired, and make its recommendation to be forwarded to City Council for final review and approval.

There are twelve model homes within the City that are part of this request. There are three options for Council: (1) take no action; (2) waive the special permit fee; or (3) grant a one- year extension of the existing model home permits. The second option would require additional staff time and a Board of Zoning Appeals waiver, the third option Is recommended by the Finance and Legal departments. The extension would be granted for all twelve permits. The City's cost would be $15,000 over a three -year period. Vice Mayor Salay inquired if these are active model homes.

Board of Zoning Appeals Process Administrative Request 07- 102ADM Code Amendment Tammy Noble - Flading said the intent of the Code Amendment is to compile all information related to Board of Zoning Appeal into one section. She said these amendments were approved by the Board of Zoning appeals on October 25, 2007.

Ms. Noble- Flading said many of the administrative processes that have been assigned to the Director are currently being handled administratively. Mr. Langworthy said that no authorities were changed. Mr. Fishman asked if the Board of Zoning Appeals had issues with the proposed modifications. Mr. Langworthy said no. Mr. Fishman said he had an issue with the Director determining alternative parking arrangements for home occupation uses and it not being reviewed by the PIanning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Walter said if there is an issue which falls under this pretense the issue will first be taken to the Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning, if it is not properly resolved the issue will go to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Langworthy clarified that in order to go from the Director to the Board of Zoning Appeals a person would have to submit an appeal. Mr. Fishman said he is concerned that in the absence of Mr. Langworthy that another individual would make a decision which is unsatisfactory. Mr. Langworthy said that the decision can still be appealed; however, these types of situations are not a common occurrence. Motion and Vote Mr. Gerber made a motion to approve this Administrative Request to modify Zoning Code Sections 153.002, 153.004, 153.0I9, 153.053, 153.073, 153.090, 153.091, 153.097, 153.98, 153.115, 153.138, 153.148, 153.163, 153.187, 153.201, 153.203, and 153.210 as requested in the draft ordinance regarding the Board of Zoning Appeals process.

Code Amendments -Board of Zoning Appeals Code Amendments 07- 102ADM Tammy Noble - Flading presented the Code Amendments and stated that the amendments are directly related to roles and responsibilities of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Planning is presenting the amendments to the Board and any comments would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 15, 2007. She said the entire Code, as it related to the Board of Zoning Appeals, was reviewed by Planning with the exclusive purpose to take any sections that referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals and compile them into one section of the Code. She stated that most of the modifications are clerical or administrative in nature. Mr. Ferezan asked how many years it had been since the Code had been reviewed. Mr. Gunderman said in the six years he had been with the City, he could not remember anything about the Board being changed or updated in the Code. Mr. Skillman noted that he had only found verbiage changes that were needed in the Code. Mr. Ferezan confirmed that the purpose of the Board of Zoning Appeals had not changed. Ms. Noble - Flading said there were sections in the Code that had been changed to reference the Director, but in those instances, those processes are already being reviewed, and approved, administratively. Mr. Blosser said that applicants rely on Planning to assist in the process and to offer suggestions and avenues to compromise. He said he knew Planning worked hard to not have an application come before the Board and he appreciated it. He said he thought the revisions were good and comprehensive. Mr. Ferezan suggested that the Board ask specific questions rather than having Ms. Noble- Flailing review the changes to each section of the Code. Mr. Blosser noted that on Page 4, Section 153.090, an `e' was missing in the word `Purpose'. Mr. Blosser, Mr. Skillman and Mr. Shankar did not have any questions on this Code section. Ms. Noble- Flading pointed out that the most significant modifications were proposed in Section 153.231. She said the idea was that all the current sections that refer to the Board of Zoning Appeals be compiled in this chapter of the Zoning Code. She said that a Purpose Statement was added that included a general description of the Board including how many members were appointed to the Board and the length of their terms. Mr. Blosser suggested in (C) (2) Special permit, that the words `required by' be replaced with `provided under'. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes — October 25, 2007 Page 3 of 4 Mr. Blosser pointed out that there were two sections labeled (D) (1) (t), and the second one should be a (g) instead. Ms. Noble - Flading said she did make that notation. Mr. Blosser commented on (D) (3) and said he liked the wording and it was very well done and thought out which helped to clarify. Mr. Blosser suggested that Decisions (E) (1) Actions of the Board of Zoning Appeals read: "During, or within a reasonable time following a public hearing..." Mr. Blosser referred to (E) (3), and suggested it read: "Any decision of the Board of Zoning Appeal shall not become a final City record until minutes of the meeting, at which final action on the request was taken are officially approved and adopted by the Board of Zoning Appeals,... ". He said then, after the Board votes, it is a final action, and then later the Board is ratifying the minutes of that action, but it would allow Planning to act on what they had done so that there is no delay for the home owner or developer. He said that would also remove the need to bring to the Board's attention for a separate action, any kind of hardship created. He said it would streamline it. Ms. Noble - Flading said Planning had discussed this in great length, and are still discussing it with the Legal Department. She suggested that Mr. Blosser's proposal could be forwarded to the Legal Department for consideration and the outcome of the discussion would be presented to the Planning and Zoning commission. Ms. Noble - Flading clarified that Sections (E) (6 through 8) were all language to help with enforcement measures. Mr. Blosser said he had no questions about them and thought they were very good. Mr. Skillman asked if on Page 6, Section (F) (2) should read 30 days and not 20 days. Ms. Noble - Flading said this section was referring to administrative appeals where home owners/ developers are appealing a decision of the staff, to the BZA. The 30 days was referring to appeals of a BZA decision that would be referred to the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Blosser said as a matter of clarification, he suggested instead of saying Administrative Appeal, saying Administrative Appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals, to clarify the type of appeal process, that is being referenced in the section. Mr. Blosser said he had no questions regarding the proposed language on Page 9. Ms. Noble - Flading referred to Section (1) Appeals from the Building Code Standards and said currently, there is no review criteria for appeals to the Building Code Standards. She said the Building Code adopted by the City of Dublin does have language in its Code, but Planning is trying to incorporate some language in the Zoning Code. She stated that Planning is still working with both the Building Department and the Legal Department and additional language would be added, prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission. She stated that Planning would also present the information to the Board of Zoning Appeals, once approved. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes — October 25, 2007 Page 4 of 4 Mr. Blosser asked that the Reconsideration Rule, Section IX of the Board of Zoning Appeals Rules and Regulations, be included into the Code revision, because the reconsideration is a vital part of the due process. Motion and Vote Keith Blosser made a motion, seconded by Drew Skillman, to approve these Code Amendments with the recommendations, as discussed. The vote was as follows: Mr. Ferezan, yes; Mr. Shankar, yes; Mr. Skillman, yes; and Mr. Blosser, yes, (Approved 4 — 0.)

She noted char two now sections have been added to the Code - the firs, one being temporary structures and uses such as consC ruction era tiers and portable classrooms, which would be regulated by clarifying the duration of such uses as well as being placed in areas that would be aOsthacI.zlLy pleasing. Ms. Kurtz noted chat commercial zone construction trailers would require a site plan which would accompany the building permit. Those in residential areas would be examoe from a special permit, but the applicant would be required to meet with staff co find a mutually satisfacto location. Ms. Kurta then referred to probably the most controversial portion of the ordinance, that section that deals with model homes in a residential distric The requirements would be that proposed model homes bo easily accessible and idenclflable, integrated into the character of the neighborhood with no external lighting ocher than the usual and customary residential lighting, approved for a limited duration not to exceed one year and only while buildii lots or units are available in the developee at, identified by no mare than one sign In compliance with The sign code and the special permit application to describe the use for the proposed model home (hours of operation, number and types of employees, provision for parking far cmpleyacs on the site). Mr. Campbell said chat the planning Commission was In agreement and also noted Oar the Board of Zoning Appeals would be handling the Special permit applicac ions. Me, Maurer noted than the ordinance does not provide an exemption for a tent that is associated with a speclai event. Ms. Kurtz said that the ordinance says that cents are not subject to a special permit review by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Bowman said that the intent was nor to regulate the festival kind of Cant Mr. Scrip noted that cents are used quire frequently for private parties, being attached co homes, and wondered perhaps if the City was not running the risk of over- regulaC fen. MS. Kurtz said than it vas not .he intent to regulate tents used for res£dencial parry purposes. Hr. Amoroso suggested that perhaps council would feel more comfortable with language to that effect in the Ordinance. He. Sob. M,G.Cy of the BIA said that they aIran and app roc lace the sereom- lining of the yroccss; that they want to be good neighbors, but that the builders need to sell homes to remain in business, visibility being an Important aspect of potential sales. One of the concerns, he noted, was that vhieh dealt with to external lighting He said that for most of the year chat would be no problem, but chat an evenings when It gets dark early ar there is bad weather that perhaps there could be a middle ground, such as a time limitation, the lights going off aC 9:OD. A second concern, Mr. McCory said, was the one year limited duration time, noting that in larger developmen cs It would be difficult to sell all the toes in one year, and that extensions of Lima might be difficult cc get granted, given the criteria suggested. He said that they would hope chat the fine for which the permit is granted could be variable, dependant upon how large the development might be. Mr. Hendry said that the renewal requirement for the permit could present a problem, and that they would prefer to avoid such a stfuation. Mrs. King said that she did not foresee a problem with the renewal If a developer has a legitimate number of lots still available to be sold. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting November 5, 1990 Page Three Mr. Sutphen agreed with Mrs. King as regards the above, and also expressed a concern about the possibility of over - regulating, mentioning speckfically cents on private property. He also agreed with Mrs. King chat something would need to be worked out as regards the lighting of the mode[ homes. Mr. McCory said that he did nor think that there would be any objection to regulating the direction in whirh the lighting shines. He. Maurer said chat she would not have a problem with exterior Lighting that Is regulated by time and direction. Mr. gill Fannin noted that the lighting could serve as a trine dotorrant, and suggested regulation regarding the lighting to made on a site by site basis. Me also expressed a concern regarding the requirement chat there be only one small sign Indicating a model homo. It was agreed chat staff and Mr. McCory work together co come up with some language that will accomplish the desires of staff as well as not cause the builders undue difficulty.

Planning recommends approval to City Council for the amendment. Update May 20, 2010 PZC Meeting The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed Code amendment at their May 20, 2010 meeting. The Commissioners generally supported the proposed amendments to create an administrative approval process for model homes in residential districts, rather than requiring a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning Commission Case 10- 022ADM I Model Homes in Residentlal Districts Thursday, June 10, 2010 1 Page 2 of 3 FACTS Summary of Modifications The Commissioners requested several modifications, including: • Provisions for the removal of all improvements related to the use of the structure as a model home and restoration to conditions typical of a residential property; • Deleting the proposed revision that would prohibit garages trom being converted to sales offices; • A limitation on interior lighting (to a maximum of two rooms and requiring that all other lighting be turned off by 9:00 p.m. and remain off until 8:00 a.m. daily); • Additional parking requirements, including provisions for parking lots for model homes that would require a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to construction; • Modification to the notice requirements for adjacent property owners and homeowners associations; and • Minor grammatical modifications and language clarifications. Facts Case Background At the April 26, 2010 City Council meeting, Council requested a Zoning Code modification that would permit Land Use and Long Range Planning to approve model 'homes in residential districts through on administrative process. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to continue to permit model homes in residential districts but develop an administrative approval process that will continue to ensure that residents of new and maturing neighborhoods are protected from potential adverse impacts resulting from model home operations. Code History The special permit process to allow model homes in residential districts was originaily approved by City Council in 1990. The Code was subsequently amended in 2007 to consolidate the review criteria for model homes in residential districts and other minor modifications related to the overall modification to the Code Sections related to the Board of Zoning Appeals. (Planning discussed this proposed Code modification with the Board of Zoning Appeals at their April 29, 2010 meeting and the Board had no specific comments on the proposal.) At their January 25, 2010 meeting, City Council granted an extension through 2011 for all model homes that are currently operating. This action was the result of a request for consideration submitted by the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio (BIA), citing concerns with the costs for special permit applications and the current financial difficulties that the housing market is experiencing. City of Dublin I Planning and Zoning CommWon Case 10-022ADM I Model Homes in Residential Districts Thursday, June 10, 2010 1 Page 3 of 3 ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATION Existing Regulations (Section 153.0951 The Zoning Code currently requires that model homes obtain a special permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to receiving a Certificate of Zoning Plan Approval to begin operating. The Board typically reviewed the proposed model home location, operational details, and appearance to ensure that the model home were consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. Special permits were typically approved for two years in new residential neighborhoods and one year in developed or mature neighborhoods. Nine special permits for model homes were approved in 2009, and eight in 2008. Typically, the Board has approved these applications with little or no discussion and attached a standard set of conditions. These conditions have been made requirements in the proposed amendments Analysis . Case Procedure Code Section 153,232(8) grants the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to review "amendments to the zoning map and to the zoning ordinance and recommendation of action to Council" The Commission should review the modifications, provide input where desired, and make its recommendation to be forwarded to City Council for final review and approval. Recommendation: . Approval R•rr Amendments In Planning's opinion, the proposed amendment streamlines the approval process for model homes in residential districts by creating an administrative review procedure. Additionally, the proposed modifications provide clear regulations and review criteria for the operation of model homes in residential neighborhoods. Planning recommends approval to City Council of the amendment.

Ray Planner I 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts 2. Accessory Uses and Structures 10- 021ADM Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 19 Code Amendment Steve Langworthy introduced this Code amendment for accessory uses and structures. He said this amendment originated from a series of issues that have arisen over the past few years with Board of Zoning Appeals, primarily dealing with accessory structure sizes. He said there have also been issues with the Zoning Code in terms of clarity of the language, with the idea of what constitutes `attachment' as one of the biggest issues. Mr. Langworthy stated that as a result of these issues over the years, City Council recently directed Planning to research and prepare a Code amendment addressing these concerns. Mr. Langworthy said that by definition, accessory structures are intended to be subordinate to the principal use. He said that subordinate means not only subordinate in use, but also in appearance; accessory structures should look like something that is attached to or part of the principal structure, as opposed to another main building. Mr. Langworthy said that objective can be accomplished through a number of different types of regulations. Mr. Langworthy said that there is no magic number that Planning can provide as a standard that most other conaminities use to regulate accessory structure size. He encouraged the Commissioners to make suggestions about what they felt would be appropriate for Dublin, which would then be forwarded to City Council. Chris Amorose Groomes requested that the Commission begin by conceptually discussing what they are trying to accomplish with this Code amendment. She suggested that the Commissioners identify their objectives and think critically about whether the Code hits those targets. Richard Taylor suggested that since he and Ms. Amorose Groomes had recently dealt with this Code Section, perhaps they could relate their experiences to begin the discussion. He began by saying that he was pleased to see the issues with this Code Section finally being dealt with, because he had dealt with this section in his practice on a number of occasions. Mr. Taylor recalled one of his clients, who lived in River retest on a very large lot, who wanted a detached garage with studio space above it. He said the garage was not particularly large, but the combination of the first floor space and the second floor space exceeded 720 square feet, which is the maximum square footage permitted by the Zoning Code for detached accessory structures. He said it would have been subordinate to the principal structure in appearance and in size, it was set back on a very large lot and it complimented the architecture of the main building - He said that without a variance to the 720 - square -foot limitation, the only way the garage could be built was to attach it to the principal structure. He said that after looking at the cost, his client decided it was not worth the trouble and he built the garage without the studio space. He said his client would have been able to build the studio space because of the size of the lot if the proposed Code amendment were approved. Mr. Taylor described another client he had worked with in Galway Estates where the property owners wanted to build an attached one -car garage with a semi -open outdoor kitchen adjacent to an existing pool. He pointed out that the surface area of the pool is considered by the Zoning Code to be an accessory structure and is included in the total permitted square footage allowance that cannot exceed 30 percent of the area of the principal structure. He said he could not find a way to achieve his client's goals without obtaining a variance. Mr. Taylor said the argument he 0 U y, P4 ° a ro o 8 Q o" . p a' Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission 11 Ai May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 10 of 29 made to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) was that his client had a relatively small house on a very large lot. He said that in Galway Estates, houses are between seven and eleven percent of the total lot area, as compared to Coventry Woods across Dublin Road, where homes might exceed twenty percent lot coverage. Mr. Taylor concluded that the proposed Code amendment included provisions for the size of the accessory structures that relates to the size of the lot instead of the size of the house, which made more sense to him. Ms. Amorose Groomes said that she had recently represented her aunt and uncle at the BZA for a variance case involving this Code Section. She explained that they wanted to build a three -car garage in place of their existing two -car garage, built in 1940 with small doors that were not wide enough for their vehicle to clear. She said there are also an old bank barn and a small a on the property, which together exceeded the 720- square -foot limitation for detached accessory structures. She explained that they had made a similar argument to the BZA about lot coverage; that with the addition of the three -car garage and removal of the two -car garage, they would still be at less than three percent lot coverage. She added that the house was built on a hill, so the garage could not be attached to the house. She concluded that the variance request had been disapproved by the BZA. Ms. Amorose Groomes said she was generally not in favor of updating the Zoning Code because it has worked well enough over the years. She said whenever Code amendments are made, there are unintended consequences that are bound to result; however, if this is the route that City Council has directed the Commission to take, then she would take up the charge. Todd Zimmerman noted that he had served three years with the BZA. He commented that the proposed Code amendments allowing for lot size was not something that they had in their toolbox while reviewing these types of requests. He recalled many times when the BZA had been required to deal with this issue, even with swimming pools, and they had expressed similar concerns. Mr. Fishman, who had also been a BZA member, said he thought the proposed Code amendment was well done. He asked what would happen, for example, if the Code were to be amended, and in the future, if someone wanted a lot split resulting in small lots with large accessory structures. He asked if the lot split request would be denied. Mr. Langworthy said that allowing greater square footages is less likely to result in negative unintended consequences; in other words, everything that is smaller now, like with Mr. Taylor's clients, they could now build bigger, not just because of the size modifications, but because Planning proposes that the square footage calculations include ground floor square footage only. Mr. Langworthy said the potentially negative consequence was that if someone builds a building that is proportional to the size of the lot, and then decide to split the lot; they would have a problem. He said the lot split would have to be denied, or they would have to reduce the size of the accessory structure to be consistent with the size of the lot as the Code amendment proposes. Mr. Langworthy said that was one of the reasons why Planning looked into the number of lots that they thought would be affected by this amendment. He referred to a map showing the residential properties in the City and said there were about 600 parcels with one to five acres that could be affected, but a number of those lots are already at the size that they are going to be. He pointed out that many parcels are well over five acres and will probably be split before they are c O U � � 0 0.i � .F 0 0 O TS O N Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission DRAFT May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page I I of 19 developed. Mr. Langworthy said that they do not feel the overall effect in terms of numbers will be very significant, but if someone wanted to build a bigger building, Planning would have to make sure that the property owner was aware that if at some point in the future they wanted to split the property, they would have to reduce the size of the accessory building or get a variance in order to make a lot split possible. Mr. Langworthy suggested that something could be added in a nonconformities section that would specify that accessory structures built after the date of the passage of this Code amendment would be made conforming even after a lot split. However, he said that could end up with fairly large accessory structures on small lots, and then the idea of subordination based on lot size would be lost. He said he would not recommend such a regulation, but that was something that could be done to take.care of that problem. Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested that the Commissioners begin reviewing and commenting on the proposed Code amendments by section. Amy Kramb referred to Section 153.002 Definitions, `Accessory Structure,' and suggested that the word `building' be removed from the definition because a building is not necessarily a structure in some fields. Mr. Langworthy said that would be fine, because the definition of `structure' includes the word `building.' Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if the principal structure would always be the residence, because in some parts of Dublin, accessory structures might be larger than the primary structure. She said there were some barns on Dublin and Coffman Roads and along the river that added tremendous character to those corridors. She said she did not want to make all of those outbuildings subordinate to the house. Rachel Ray explained that the definition of `Principal Structure' is a structure that is intended to accommodate the principal use. She said that with the proposed amendment, the principal structure could be smaller than the accessory building on some larger lots. Ms. Amorose Groomes asked if a principal use could be a farm and if the accessory building would be the house. Mr. Langworthy said they needed to be careful with agricultural buildings, because they are treated separately by state law. He said the City can regulate farm buildings by setback, but not by size. Kevin Walter asked how it would be handled if an agricultural building were converted to a home, which would then be a principal use. Mr. Langworthy said there could only be one principal use per lot, unless it is in a PUD or some other zoning district that allows two dwellings on one lot. Mr. Taylor commented on the definition for `Attached Accessory Structure.' He asked if the intent was that any part of the accessory building must be within 15 feet of the foundation of the principal structure, or if it was foundation to foundation. Mr. Langworthy said it was foundation to foundation. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission DRAFT May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 19 Mr. Walter referred to the `Detached Accessory Structure' definition and asked what if the structure was right at 15 feet. Mr. Langworthy said if it was exactly 15 feet away, foundation to foundation, and attached by habitable space, it was considered attached. John Hardt referred to the definition of `Habitable Space' and asked if walls with windows and glass could be considered habitable space. Ms. Flay said the key was whether or not the space was heated. She said if it were an enclosed breezeway structure with walls and a roof, but was not heated, it would be considered habitable space. Ms. Kramb said since her garage had walls and heat, it would be considered a livable space, and she did not think that made sense. Mr. Langworthy clarified that these proposed definitions applied only to the Zoning Code, not the Building Code. Mr. Hardt said it was unclear whether or not just glass, posts, screens, or those kinds of materials are sufficient for the definition of `Habitable Space.' Mr. Langworthy suggested `completely enclosed' be inserted instead, since it did not matter what material was used. Claudia Husak explained that it was intended to mean that posts and a roof could not make a structure `attached.' Mr. Langworthy said for the sake of time, Planning would work on the definitions for `Habitable Space' and `Livable Space.' Mr. Hardt asked why in Code Section 153.074 (B) (2) (a) Detached Accessory Structures, the applicability was limited to enclosed storage structures, which was something that lacked a definition. He was concerned because such care was taken to define all of the other terms on the previous pages. He asked if this was intended to only apply to storage structures, or if it was intended to apply to all detached accessory structures. Ms. Ray explained that detached accessory storage structures are dealt with in the table in subsection (e), and the other detached accessory structures like gazebos, patios, and swimming pools are dealt with separately in terms of lot coverage and setbacks. She said it was all under the same (B) (2) heading, but it was addressed differently. Mr. Hardt said similarly, the heading covering Detached Accessory Structures includes subsection (b), which applies to attached garages and attached three - season rooms, which is confusing and seems out of place. Mr. Langworthy explained that the purpose was to clarify what should and should not count in this section concerning maximum square footage, as there have been issues in the past with unclear terms and applicability. Ms. Kramb asked what if a detached accessory structure was not used for storage. Ms. Ray said detached garages, sheds, greenhouses, and those kinds of structures are of primary concern with this amendment, and the size limitation applies to those structures. She said that all other o . structures are limited by lot coverage and setbacks since they are less likely to have significant y impact. >x o c Ms. Kramb asked about outdoor entertainment areas by swimming pools, or outdoor kitchens. ° a She asked why it was limited to storage structures and not to all detached structures. Mr. o M 0 N r °dt°�Q Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission l�? May 20, 2010 — Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 19 Langworthy suggested that the Code Section state this section shall only apply to detached accessory structures instead. Mr. Langworthy asked the Commissioners to keep in mind that they are looking at Zoning Code text, while Planning looks at how the text is applied to real situations and requests every day, and examples of what is intended to count and what is not greatly helps demonstrate to applicants what the Code Section is intended to accomplish. Mr. Walter referred to Section (B) (2) (c), and expressed a concern about gazebos, since they may or may not be considered `landscape features.' He said he did not consider gazebos, trellises, or arbors to be similar in size. He said gazebos by nature are more consequential because they could have seating and a roof. He asked why gazebos were excluded from the square footage limitation. Ms. Ray said that because gazebos are typically more open than garages, sheds, and other storage structures, Planning was not originally proposing to include them in what they had classified as `enclosed storage structures' because the nature of the structure is different. Mr. Walter said he thought gazebos should be counted toward the permitted square footage because they could be very large. He noted that gazebos were addressed in subsections (b) and (c). Mr. Fishman and Mr. Taylor agreed with Mr. Walter. Ms. Amorose Groomes pointed out that trellises, such as a wine trellis, could become substantial as well, and could be built on smaller properties of less than an acre. Mr. Langworthy noted that gazebos might be no worse than a sports court, which could be considerably larger than a gazebo. Mr. Hardt said that he thinks trellises and arbors are not structures, while gazebos are, and that the primary distinction was that gazebos have roofs that are not primarily open like those of trellises and arbors. He suggested additional clarification to specify that trellises or arbors would not count because they do not have roofs. Ms. Ray suggested including a certain square footage as a size limitation instead to avoid getting into discussions over what constitutes a `roof with applicants and property owners. Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested that gazebos that are less than 250 square feet not be considered `detached accessory structures' for the purposes of the square footages allowed in Table (B) (2) (e). The Commission members agreed. Mr. Hardt referred to Table (B) (2) (e) and asked where it stated how the height was intended to be measured. Ms. Ray said in the Definitions, there is a definition for `roof height.' She said for flat roofed structures, height is measured to the highest point, while for gabled structures, height is measured to the midpoint of the roof, and for mansard roofs, it is measured to the roof deck. Ms. Kramb and Ms. Amorose Groomes suggested that the number of buildings should be dependent to the size of the lot as well. Ms. Kramb suggested the table could be adjusted and the first sentence of (c) be eliminated. Mr. Hardt clarified that the Commission wanted to see the maximum quantity delineated in the table for all instances because it was not uniform. Mr. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission May 20,20 10 — Meeting Minutes Page 14 of 19 Langworthy confirmed that a property of less than one acre could have two accessory structures, and one accessory structure for each additional acre thereafter, up to a maximum of five. Mr. Hardt referred to Code Section (B) (3) Accessory Structures in Multi - Family Residential Districts, subsection (b), and said he believed that the text limits multi - family residential to one accessory structure total for the entire development, as it currently reads. He pointed out that some apartment communities have pool houses, workout facilities, mailbox huts, and barns to conceal dumpsters. Mr. Langworthy said something separate could be written that would address structures related to the overall complex as opposed to individual units. Mr. Hardt said small accessory .structures have served a good purpose as a creative way to hide some of the less attractive elements that come along with multi - family communities, and he did not want limit those structures. Mr. Walter recalled seeing big multi - family homes in Minneapolis that blended in very well with the neighborhood. He said he wondered if 200 square feet was appropriate for such units, and they would have to account for duplexes and other similar, large multi - family buildings if Dublin wanted to see the kind of development they saw in Minneapolis. Mr. Langworthy explained that two - family dwellings were not considered multi - family dwellings by the Zoning Code. He further explained that the Zoning Code addresses one -, two -, and four- family dwellings, but not three- family. He confirmed that there was a difference between `multi- family' and a `duplex.' He said a two- family structure would fall under the single - family requirements or allowances. Mr. Walter pointed out that in (B) (3) (a), `Multiple- family' should be corrected to `Multi- family,' since `Multiple - family' was not defined in the Code. Mr. Langworthy agreed to make it consistent. Mr. Walter requested that in (B) (3) (b) that the words `similar to and' be deleted. Mr. Langworthy said they would, and also said they would be deleted in (B) (6) (a) for consistency. Motion and Vote Mr. Walter made a motion to table this proposed Code Amendment. Mr. Taylor seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: Mr. Zimmerman, yes; Mr. Fishman, yes; Mr. Hardt, yes, Ms. Amorose Groomes, yes; Ms. Kramb, yes; Mr. Taylor, yes; and Mr. Walter, yes.

Vice Mayor Sala OTHER • Model Home Permits — Building Industry Association Request for Fee Waiver Mr. McDaniel stated that the City received a request from the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio requesting a waiver of the annual fee for maintaining a special permit for a model home. The need is due to the financial difficulties the home building industry has experienced this past year. A new model permit is effective for two years, after which they are renewable annually. There are twelve model homes within the City that are pad of this request There are three options for Council: (1) take no action; (2) waive the special permit fee; or (3) grant a one• year extension of the existing model home permits. The second option would require additional staff time and a Board of Zoning Appeals waiver, the third option Is recommended by the Finance and Legal departments. The extension would be granted for all twelve permits. The City's cost would be $15,000 over a three-year period. Vice Mayor Belay inquired if these are active model homes. Mr. Smith responded affirmatively. Virg Mayor Belay inquired if they are complying with conditions.

Noble - Flading /� Senior Planner `� Planning and Zoning Commission November 15, 2007 — Minutes Page 4 of 19 2. Board of Zoning Appeals Process Administrative Request 07- 102ADM Code Amendment Tammy Noble - Flading said the intent of the Code Amendment is to compile all information related to Board of Zoning Appeal into one section. She said these amendments were approved by the Board of Zoning appeals on October 25, 2007. Ms. Noble - Flading said all of the Board of Zoning Appeals modifications are included in the proposed text. Mr. Walter said the proposed language appears to take the mundane tasks and assign them to the Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning. He said if a resident has an appeal it will be assigned to the Board of Zoning Appeals for a public hearing. Ms. Noble - Flading said many of the administrative processes that have been assigned to the Director are currently being handled administratively. Mr. Langworthy said that no authorities were changed. Mr. Fishman asked if the Board of Zoning Appeals had issues with the proposed modifications. Mr. Langworthy said no. Mr. Fishman said he had an issue with the Director determining alternative parking arrangements for home occupation uses and it not being reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Walter said if there is an issue which falls under this pretense the issue will first be taken to the Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning; if it is not properly resolved the issue will go to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr, Langworthy clarified that in order to go from the Director to the Board of Zoning Appeals a person would have to submit an appeal. Mr. Fishman said he is concerned that in the absence of Mr. Langworthy that another individual would make a decision which is unsatisfactory. Mr. Langworthy said that the decision can still be appealed; however, these types of situations are not a common occurrence. Motion and Vote Mr. Gerber made a motion to approve this Administrative Request to modify Zoning Code Sections 153.002, 153.004, 153.018, 153.053, 153.073, 153.090, 153.091, 153.097 153.98, 153.115, 153.138, 153.148, 153.163, 153.187, 153.201, 153.203, and 153.210 as requested in the draft ordinance regarding the Board of Zoning Appeals process.

Ms. Rauch stated that draft language regar each of these topics, except the drive -thrus was included within the packet. Steve Langworthy stated the reason for the proposed amendments is ult of inquiries for certain uses and where they fit within the SIC Code designation within the Curren He said the goal is to eliminate the use of the SIC Code, but for now we need clearer Code language addresses these uses.

Nob Senior Planner Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes — October 25, 2007 Page 2 of 4 1. Code Amendments -Board of Zoning Appeals Code Amendments 07- 102ADM Tammy Noble - Flading presented the Code Amendments and stated that the amendments are directly related to roles and responsibilities of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Planning is presenting the amendments to the Board and any comments would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 15, 2007. She said the entire Code, as it related to the Board of Zoning Appeals, was reviewed by Planning with the exclusive purpose to take any sections that referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals and compile them into one section of the Code. She stated that most of the modifications are clerical or administrative in nature. Mr. Ferezan asked how many years it had been since the Code had been reviewed. Mr. Guadetman said in the six years he had been with the City, he could not remember anything about the Board being changed or updated in the Code. Mr. Skillman noted that he had only found verbiage changes that were needed in the Code. Mr. Ferezan confirmed that the purpose of the Board of Zoning Appeals had not changed. Ms. Noble - Flading said there were sections in the Code that had been changed to reference the Director, but in those instances, those processes are already being reviewed, and approved, administratively. Mr. Blosser said that applicants rely on Planning to assist in the process and to offer suggestions and avenues to compromise. He said he knew Planning worked hard to not have an application come before the Board and he appreciated it. He said he thought the revisions were good and comprehensive. Mr. Ferezan suggested that the Board ask specific questions rather than having Ms. Noble- Flailing review the changes to each section of the Code. Mr. Blosser noted that on Page 4, Section 153.090, an `e' was missing in the word `Purpose'. Mr. Blosser, Mr. Skillman and Mr. Shankar did not have any questions on this Code section. Ms. Noble - Flading pointed out that the most significant modifications were proposed in Section 153131. She said the idea was that all the current sections that refer to the Board of Zoning Appeals be compiled in this chapter of the Zoning Code. She said that a Purpose Statement was added that included a general description of the Board including how many members were appointed to the Board and the length of their terms. Mr. Blosser suggested in (C) (2) Special permit, that the words `required by' be replaced with `provided under'. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes — October 25, 2007 Page 3 of 4 Mr. Blosser pointed out that there were two sections labeled (D) (1) (f), and the second one should be a (g) instead. Ms. Noble - Flading said she did make that notation. Mr. Blosser commented on (D) (3) and said he liked the wording and it was very well done and thought out which helped to clarify. Mr. Blosser suggested that Decisions (E) (1) Actions of the Board of Zoning Appeals read' "During, or within a reasonable time following a public hearing..." Mr. Blosser referred to (E) (3), and suggested it read: "Any decision of the Board of Zoning Appeal shall not become a final City record until minutes of the meeting, at which final action on the request was taken are officially approved and adopted by the Board of Zoning Appeals,... ". He said then, after the Board votes, it is a final action, and then later the Board is ratifying the minutes of that action, but it would allow Planning to act on what they had done so that there is no delay for the home owner or developer. He said that would also remove the need to bring to the Board's attention for a separate action, any kind of hardship created. He said it would streamline it. Ms. Noble - Flading said Planning had discussed this in great length, and are still discussing it with the Legal Department. She suggested that Mr. Blosser's proposal could be forwarded to the Legal Department for consideration and the outcome of the discussion would be presented to the Planning and Zoning commission. Ms. Noble- Flading clarified that Sections (E) (6 through 8) were all language to help with enforcement measures. Mr. Blosser said he had no questions about them and thought they were very good. Mr. Skillman asked if on Page 6, Section (F) (2) should read 30 days and not 20 days Ms. Noble - Flading said this section was referring to administrative appeals where home owners/ developers are appealing a decision of the staff, to the BZA. The 30 days was referring to appeals of a BZA decision that would be referred to the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. Blosser said as a matter of clarification, he suggested instead of saying Administrative Appeal, saying Administrative Appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals, to clarify the type of appeal process, that is being referenced in the section. Mr. Blosser said he had no questions regarding the proposed language on Page 9. Ms. Noble- Flading referred to Section (1) Appeals from the Building Code Standards and said currently, there is no review criteria for appeals to the Building Code Standards. She said the Building Code adopted by the City of Dublin does have language in its Code, but Planning is trying to incorporate some language in the Zoning Code. She stated that Planning is still working with both the Building Department and the Legal Department and additional language would be added, prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission. She stated that Planning would also present the information to the Board of Zoning Appeals, once approved. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Homes in Residential Districts Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes — October 25, 2007 Page 4 of 4 Mr. Blosser asked that the Reconsideration Rule, Section IX of the Board of Zoning Appeals Rules and Regulations, be included into the Code revision, because the reconsideration is a vital part of the due process. Motion and Vote Keith Blosser made a motion, seconded by Drew Skillman, to approve these Code Amendments with the recommendations, as discussed. The vote was as follows: Mr. Ferezan, yes; Mr. Shankar, yes; Mr. Skillman, yes; and Mr. Blosser, yes. (Approved 4 -0.)

She noted chat two now acetions have been added to the Code - the first one being temporary structures and us such as construction trailers and portable classrooms, which would be regulated by clarifying the duration of such uses as well as heir.& placed in areas chat would be acsthecically pleasing. Ms. Kurtz noted that commercial zone construction trailers would require a site plan which would accompany the building permit. Those in residential areas would be exempt from a special permic, but the applicant would be required to meet with staff to find a mutually sacisfactm lees a ion. Ms. Kurtz then referred to probably the most controversial Portion of the ordinance, chat seccion that duals with model homes in a residential district the requirements would be that proposed model homes be easily accessible and identifiable, integrated into the character of the neighborhood with no external lighting other than the usual and customary residential lighting, approved for a limited duration not to exceed one year and only while buildtr Lots or units are available to the development, identified by no more than one star in compliance with the sign code and the special permit application to describe are use for the proposed modal home (hours of operation, number and types of employees, provision for parking for employees on the site). Mr. Campbell said chat the Planning Commission was in agreement and also noted chat the Board of Zoning Appeals would be handling the Special Permit appllcaclons. Ms. Maurer noted that the ordinance does not provide an exemption for a tent that is assoclaced with a special event. Ms. Kurtz said that Cho ordinance says chat cents are not subject to a special perm LC review by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Bowaran said chat the intent was not to regulate Cho festival kind of tent Mr. Strip noted chat cents are used quite frequently for private parties, being accachcd to homes, and wondered perhaps if the City was not running Cho risk of over - regulation. Ms. Kurtz said that it was not the intent to regulate tears used for residential party purposes. Mr. Amoroso suggested that perhaps council would feel mote comfortable with language to that effect in the Ordinance. Mr. John M<Gory of the SIA said that they agree and appreciate the scroam- lining of the process; that they were to be good neighbors, but that the builders need to sell homes to remain in business, vistbilicy being an important aspect of potential sales. One of the concerns, be noted, was that which dealt with no external lighting Me said chat for most of the year that wow id be no problem, but Chat o evenings when it gets dark early or there is bad weather chat perhaps cheto could be a middle ground, such as a time limitation, the lights going off at 9:00. A second concern, Mr. Moiety said, was Cho one year limited duration time. noting chat in larger developments it would be difficult to sell all rho lots in one year, and that extensions of time might be difficult to get granted, given ch. criteria suggestod. [to said that they would hope chat the time for which the permit is granted could be varixb'.u, dependant upon how large the deve LOpment might be. Mr. 4cGory said that the renewal requirement for the permit could present a problem, and that they would prefer to avoid such a situatton. Mrs. King said chat she did not foresee a problem with the renewal if a devoloper bas a legitimate number of lots still aval to be sold. 10- 022ADM Administrative Request Zoning Code Modification Model Holnes in Residential Districts RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Dublin City Council Meeting Meeting November 5, 1990 Page Three ( Mr. Sutphrn agreed with Mrs. King as regards the above, and also expressed a concern :boar the poss1bi11ty of over- regutat tng, mencioni rg specifically can's on private ppop.try.
