Page 8. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 91 lOf0 COMMISSIONERS I WITA. Commissioner Glass suggested that staff prepare a draft or drafts of possible amendments or clarifications to the zoning ordinance that would enable accessory buildings as defined: in the ordinance to be over 15 feet in height, thus falling within the height limit establish d for the zone involved, as long as the accessor building was within the normal main building setbacks and complied with other pertinent.re- quirements. Commissioner Adkinson stated he thought it would be better to put this item on a list of possible projects, otherwise it might achieve a higher priority than it warrants. Some -of the Commissioners agreed with Commis - sioner Adkinson while others indicated they thought when a specific case comes up that needs study, it should be acted upon as soon as staff prepares recommendations. • Planning Director Wilson suggested that for th next "work shop" session, staff prepare a list of things that have been under study in the past and then rely on members of the Commis- sion to add additional items and suggest the priority in which these are to be considered. On motion of Commissioner Watson, seconded by Commissioner Adkinson, and carried, the meetin was adjourned until September 4, 1969 at 8:00 P.M. in the City Council Chambers. 1?4nP7AVdCkinson, Secretar Planning Commission • Page 9,
