Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance implements text amendments to Chapter 50 of the City Code, known as the Unified Development Chapter (UDC). Two minor amendments are being changed: to allow for additional building types in the F-6 form district to allow for more diversity and options for development in the Central and East Hillside Neighborhoods, and to clarify the maximum height allowed for structures in all form districts.
The planning commission held a public hearing and considered the changes at their August 8, 2017 regular meeting, as referenced in Attachment 4, and they voted 7-0 to recommend that the city council approve these ordinance changes.
