EMC 19.7.020.B estat�lishes that the combined total square footage of all accessory buildings is to be the maximum of 15% of the tot�l lot area, or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less. The 1,000 square foot standard applies for this re quest. (finding 6) For relief from this standard, the provisions of EMC 19.7.02Q.K must be satisfied.
