§ 16.08.005. Accessory building.

"Accessory building" means a subordinate building, the use of which is incidental to that of the main building or main use of the land. The use of an accessory building may be for either a primary or an accessory use allowed by the appropriate zone/land use district. An accessory building shall be located on either the same parcel as the main building or main use; or shall be located on a contiguous abutting parcel that is owned by the same owner who owns the parcel which has the main use. An accessory building shall always exist in conjunction with and never without a legally established main building or main use that has the same common owner. An accessory building is at least partially enclosed by walls and a roof. A covered patio, lattice patio, or partial patio enclosure whose sides are less than fifty (50) percent open to the elements shall be considered a building. The use of screen, cloth, netting or similar material shall be considered a wall and/or roofing material. A building shall not include machinery, equipment or appliances installed for manufacture or process purposes only, nor shall it include any construction installations which are not a part of a building, any tunnel, mine shaft, highway or bridge, or include any house trailer or vehicle which conforms to the vehicle code.
