SUBJECT: Text Amendment Regarding Building Materials in the Single-
Family Residential Zones
DATE: October 14, 2004
CASELOG NO.: NA
INTRODUCTION:
On September 23,2004 staffproposed the following text amendment to the City's Planning
Commission;
C. Soecial Minimum Requirements in the R-1A. R-1B. and R-1C Districts.
Major exterior surfaces on all walls of principal or accessory structures shall be
facing brick (glazed or unglazed), clay facing tile, stone masonry (granite,
limestone, marble, slate, sandstone, or quartzite), finished texture stucco (cement
or synthetic), exterior finished wood siding (painted, stained, or weather-sealed),
exterior finished metal siding (not including sheet metal of any kind), or exterior
finished vinyl siding.
The purpose of the proposed text amendment is to try to make sure that materials standards
for the single-family zoning districts are consistent with those for other residential districts.
Recently, planning staffwas approached by a resident interested, for example, in the use of a
Quonset hut, which would not generally be consistent with standards in the other residential
zones. At the public hearing, a member of the public suggested that the language regarding
metal siding might require more specificity.

2. Approve Ordinance No. 714, approving the text amendment with revisions.
3. Do not approve the proposed amendment.
