Staff Agenda Report
Presentation and discussion regarding Accessory Building Regulations
Meeting date:
April 14, 2015
Agenda Item #:
4
Action being considered:
None
Staff Recommendation:
None
Prior Board or Council Action:
Board Member Jo-Alice Davis requested the Board review the current accessory building
regulations.
Background Information/Analysis:
The accessory building regulations are generally written to allow both the construction of
accessory buildings, detached garages, and workshops. “An accessory building is a subordinate
building detached from the main building, without sleeping areas or kitchen facilities, not used
for commercial purposes, not rented, and not occupied for human habitation, except as
otherwise allowed by city ordinance. No accessory building shall be constructed until a main
building exists on the lot.”
Items for Review:
1. A clear conflict exists within the regulations concerning the difference between storage,
workshop, or detached garages. Most permits applicants apply under the storage
building provisions due to the reduced level of construction required (metal vs.
masonry). The ordinance does not provide a definition to distinguish the difference
between storage buildings and detached garages.
Staff generally interprets that a building built directly adjacent to attached garages, in
and around the existing driveway as a detached garage. Otherwise, if the building is
built deep on the lot with a roll up or garage door and the applicant specifies the
building is for storage, detached garage provisions are not required to be followed.
Thus, the applicant can build up to 640 square feet of metal/composite building without
matching the homes masonry content.
2. For residents wishing to construct a detached garage, other accessory buildings must be
removed from the lot prior to permit approval. However, if a resident builds a storage
building, two buildings may exist as long as the total square feet of both buildings is less
than 640 square feet. The wording of the ordinance encourages construction of metal
buildings over masonry structures.

3. The allowed size of permitted storage buildings built to a metal or composite standard is
640 square feet. The typical size of a two car garage is between 400 and 480 square
feet.

Section 28
28.1
Accessory Buildings
General Purpose and Description
An accessory building is a subordinate building detached from the main building,
without sleeping areas or kitchen facilities, not used for commercial purposes, not
rented, and not occupied for human habitation, except as otherwise allowed by city
ordinance. No accessory building shall be constructed until a main building exists on
the lot.
28.2
Accessory Building Regulations
The following regulations shall govern the location, size and use of accessory
buildings, except for barns and farm buildings for agricultural uses as defined
in Section 48.2 and accessory buildings for airpark related uses as defined in Section
49:
A.
General Provisions: An accessory building must comply with the
following setback requirements for all zoning districts:
1.)
Accessory buildings shall not be located within any easement.
2.) Accessory buildings may not be placed so as to negatively impact
drainage on any adjacent lot by diversion or impoundment of storm
water flows.
3.)
Accessory buildings located on lots where septic systems are
utilized must submit a site plan showing the layout of the septic
system and the location of the proposed building.
4.)
Approval by the City of Hudson Oaks does not constitute
approval to violate any deed restriction. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to verify compliance with all deed restrictions for his or her
property, before starting construction.
5.) No accessory building shall be used for dwelling purposes other
than by domestic servants employed on the premises, as stipulated
in Section 11, Permitted Use Table.

with enclosed garage space for at least parking two automobiles at
the time of original construction. Conversion of garage space into

may be constructed of metal, if the metal building is an engineered
