At a glance

- What: a motion directing the City Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on zoning amendments based on the Land Use Barriers Study, which the previous council commissioned to improve permitting and zoning processes.
- Scope: the "more technical, less controversial" changes: setback requirements, clear rules for townhomes and structures with multiple street frontages, EV charging station requirements, and bulk and rear yard requirements.
- Process: the motion only starts the process; it is docketed for a CPC hearing and returned to the council before any change is made.
- Outcome: passed seven to none (seconded by Councilmember McCarron). Next: a CPC hearing.
