Public Participation. None.
Items for Consent. None.
Items for Discussion.
A. Zoning Text Amendment — An amendment to the Zoning Code has been drafted to
reduce the minimum lot size required for multi-family residential dwellings from
5,000 square feet per dwelling unit to 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit in the R-6
Zoning District. This higher density for multi-family is more consistent with nearby
communities, as well as direction laid out in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Plan
Commission members voted 4-0 in favor of the amendment.
Tom Dabareiner provided a staff update and mentioned this change would allow
developers to increase density, which would thereby make financing more attractive.
This change is also being proposed with no changes to existing setback, greenspace
nor building height requirements. A brief discussion followed where members voiced
general support of the size reduction per dwelling unit.
