Consultation has concluded
At its Thursday, Feb. 23, meeting the City Council moved forward a series of development code amendments for a 30-day public comment period. Comments will be accepted here until Monday, March 27, at 8 a.m. The changes were recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The proposed changes include:
Establishing permit requirements for unattended donation containers to mitigate potential public nuisance impacts if they are not properly maintained.
Establishing a tiered development review process with more clearly defined thresholds that better guide applicants on the permitting process. This would clearly delineate the levels of review and submittal requirements associated with site plan review to be in relative proportion to the impact on the community.
Changes to setbacks for single-family homes to provide more flexibility and accommodate current housing trends.
Reducing the front and side yard setbacks on multi-family parcels in the Urban Infill Overlay District to allow for design flexibility, pedestrian-orientated development, and a more diverse and attractive streetscape.
