BL2026-1397 is the companion building-materials ordinance.
Where it stands: Passed third reading on the July 21, 2026 consent agenda (34 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain).
What changed: The July 7 substitute shrank the site from 3.24 acres to 2.38 acres (dropping the four Seymour Avenue parcels) and set the plan at 19 residential units and up to 3,250 square feet of non-residential uses, replacing "eight additional units."

July 7: Council Member Parker requested the public hearing; no one came forward. He offered a substitute for each bill (adopted by voice vote) and moved passage as substituted (voice vote). Both were referred to the Planning and Zoning Committee.
