Analysis
Under current zoning code provisions, an open-lattice-covered pergola is subject to the accessory structure design standards for an open trellis or arbor. A fully-covered pergola (e.g., one with a corrugated fiberglass roof) is subject to the accessory structure design standards for a shed.

This ordinance provides that the design standards for a fully-covered pergola shall differ from the design standards in the following aspects:

1. A fully-covered pergola shall not be included when calculating lot coverage. A shed shall continue to be included in this calculation.

2. There shall be no minimum rear setback, minimum rear street setback or minimum side street (rear yard) setback for a fully-covered pergola. A shed shall continue to be subject to setback requirements.

3. The maximum sidewall height for a fully-covered pergola shall be 10 feet. The maximum sidewall height for a shed shall continue to be 8 feet.
