Zoning text amendment — renovation standards and state code updates
Description
A zoning text amendment that makes it easier to renovate older single-family, two-family, and townhouse homes, plus new state-required rules on manufactured homes, reduced parking near transit (applied citywide), and temporary small cell facilities. The Planning Commission recommended it 6-0; the council will hold a public hearing later.
Impact summary
Owners of older homes could renovate without triggering full modern-code compliance, helping preserve the city's naturally occurring affordable housing.
