Zoning Code Update

The City is in the process of reviewing the City's Zoning regulations and considering a series of amendments to Title 23 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code. The intent and purpose of these amendments are to correct inconsistencies in Title 23, provide clarification to regulations, and simplify the development review process for the public. It is expected that several meetings will be held in the next few months to allow the public the ability to review and comment on the draft amendments to Title 23.

Please see below for upcoming meetings and materials.

On March 18, staff presented the Planning Commission with a memo which identified the preliminary topics for consideration. Click here to view the memo (dated March 18, 2010).
