What: Staff update on a Residential Driveways Code amendment.
Where it stands: Presented at the November 9, 2026 Council work session; no vote. Staff plan to fold changes into the next Development Code update in about 48 months unless Council wants a one-off fix.
Options raised: 20-foot driveways on lots 80 feet or wider, cutting the RHA parking setback from 40 to 30 feet, administrative flexibility to save heritage trees, clearer circular driveway and replacement rules.
2026-11-12 - Staff reviewed current parking setback, width, surface and garage standards and the common requests, and floated five options. Council supported a heritage tree waiver and clarity on circular driveways and replacements, raised concerns about pervious surface and front-yard parking, and heard that the item goes into the next code update. No vote.
