City Plan Commission

This agenda focuses on zoning code text amendments aimed at alleviating barriers to housing development, specifically to facilitate the creation of more affordable housing opportunities.

Key Agenda Items:

• Allowing up to 8 units by right: This includes townhouse, multiplex, and apartment building types within the § 5-2-13 (MR-15) Multi-Family Residential — 15 Zoning District.
• Reducing parking requirements:
  • For townhomes, multiplexes, and apartments, the minimum required parking will be two spaces per dwelling unit for units with zero, one, or two bedrooms.
  • An additional 0.5 space per additional bedroom over two bedrooms will be required.
  • For multiplexes and apartments, one guest parking space will be provided for every three dwelling units.

Important Details:

• No specific dollar amounts, ordinance numbers (beyond section references), deadlines, or implementation dates are provided in this excerpt.
• Public participation opportunities are not explicitly mentioned in this agenda excerpt. The document is a memo to the Plan Commission, suggesting this is a step in the review process, and a future public hearing or council vote would likely be advertised separately.
