2026-10-26 - Planning, Streets and Traffic Committee
Summary
- Approved 5-0: Bill 8091 (zoning definition of dwelling unit and accessory dwelling units, to match state law), Bill 8092 (zoning reference to ABC Administration rules for vape and smoke shops), Bill 8093 (handicapped parking zone on Quarrier St east of Ruffner Ave), Bill 8094 (stop intersection at Bridge Rd and Walnut Rd) and Bill 8099 (longer notice for closing or abandoning streets and alleys). See Dwelling Unit Zoning Text Amendments, Pending Traffic Control Bills and Street Closure Notice Requirements.
- Bill 8098 (all-way stop at Venable Ave SE and 44th St): staff said the traffic data does not support it, and the motion failed 0-5.
- The Sept 14 minutes were approved 5-0.
- Minutes quirks: the motion on Bill 8092 is labeled 8091, and the 8098 motion text reads "Bill No. 8099", an apparent typo; this summary follows the context of each vote.
