Title
a. LEGISLATIVE GROUPING - ZONING DOCKET NO. 7/26 - CITY COUNCIL MOTON M-25-567
Brief:
Requesting a text amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to:
• Define “dwelling, shipping container” as a dwelling constructed wholly or partially from one or more repurposed shipping containers.
• Prescribe use standards for shipping container dwellings, including but not limited to the
following:
• “In S-RS Suburban Single-Family Residential Districts, Shipping Container
Dwellings shall be subject to the following requirements:
a. The exterior walls of such structures shall be clad in permitted building
materials, including but not limited to wood siding, stucco, brick, fiber
cement panels, or corrugated metal panels. The cladding shall fully
obscure the seams, corrugation, markings, and original metal surface of
the shipping container from view.
b. Roof surfaces that originate from the container unit shall be obscured or
concealed by an additional roof structure, such as a pitched or parapet
roof, so as not to be visibly identifiable as a container.”
• Adding shipping container dwellings as a permitted or conditional use to zoning district use tables as appropriate.
The proposed text amendment would affect regulations that are applied to S-RS Suburban Single-Family Residential Districts. The recommendation of the City Planning Commission being “FOR DENIAL”.
