Work Session Items
1. Ordinance: Mixed-Use (MU) Zoning Consolidation Zoning Text and Map Amendment Follow-up ~ 2:00 p.m.
30 min.
The Council will receive a follow-up briefing on a proposal that would amend the City's zoning ordinance and zoning map by consolidating up to 27 existing commercial, form-based, and mixed-use zoning districts into six new mixed-use (MU) districts. The proposal aims to simplify zoning regulations, improve clarity of language, and incorporate missing design standards. The new mixed-use districts will be similar to the current districts but will have changes to setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and permitted land uses. Other sections of Title 21A may also be amended as part of this petition.
