Public Comment

The meeting begins with public comment. If you want to address Council, you will have three minutes to speak. Any public comments received by email before 3PM will be posted in the meeting packet after 3 (so check back then!).

Items on the Consent Agenda are considered non-controversial, not needing discussion. Everything in this section will be approved at once, with one vote.

Any councilor wishing to discuss one of the issues can request that it be removed from the consent agenda and discussed and voted on separately.

These are the items on the Consent Agenda:

Public Hearings

  • Ordinance 2270 creates a new definition in our zoning code for "Multi-Family Residential Development." This matches the state definition of developments that can reduce or eliminate parking requirements. The new ordinance will require developers requesting reduced parking requirements to submit a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan. TDMs explain how the developer will reduce the number of cars associated with the development. Learn more.
  • Ordinance 2271 broadens the use of the term "Household" so that people need not be related. The ordinance also factors in safety considerations, such as egress, to prevent over-crowding. Learn more.
  • Ordinance 2272 allows required setbacks for buildings to be reduced where "practical difficulties" exist. Learn more.
  • Ordinance 2273 specifies when new development or a substantial alteration will require that new 7-foot-wide sidewalks be built at the owner's expense. Learn more.
