Body
BACKGROUND:
This is a city-initiated zoning amendment to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO) as it relates to maximum building heights and stories of one-family and two-family residence zoning districts in order to facilitate allowing larger residences being constructed to meet the needs of families today, within existing residential neighborhoods.
The zoning districts affected include: One-Family Residence District-1 (R-1); One-Family Residence District-2 (R-2); One-Family Residence District-3 (R-3); One-Family Residence District-4 (R-4); One-Family Residence District-5 (R-5); One-Family Residence District-6 (R-6); Two-Family Residence District-1 (D-1); and Two-Family Residence District-2 (D-2).
On November 6, 2018, City Council directed staff to move forward with amending the CZO in this manner in order to accommodate new home construction and additions onto existing homes within the city.
