Proposed Amendments to Development Code (Outdoor Storage)

Proposed amendments to the Development Code related to outdoor storage would permit small contractor yards as a principal use within the General Commercial and Light Industrial zoning districts. The amendment responds to the growing needs of home-based and contractor-based businesses that may require storage of additional vehicles, materials, and equipment beyond what current home-based business regulations allow.

Currently, outdoor storage is permitted only as an accessory use to an established principal business operating on the same site. The proposed amendment would allow limited contractor storage and staging activities to operate independently from the contractor’s primary office or business location, helping support small business growth while minimizing potential impacts to residential neighborhoods.

Residents can review Outdoor Storage Amendments and offer feedback below through Sunday, Sept. 13.
