Workshop: driveway, connectivity and infill standards, Ordinance 25-20
Discussed
Planner Russ Holley presented Land Development Code changes allowing flag lots with one additional home behind an existing home or a duplex on multifamily lots with a 20-foot shared driveway, and capping middle-of-the-block infill at 6 single-family and 20 multifamily units on private access roads. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1 on August 14. Council Member Mark Anderson noted commercial projects are excluded. Chair Simmonds was concerned about lowering the flag lot size requirement and about multifamily in mid-block single-family areas. Vice Chair Johnson worried the rules make development harder and asked for emergency turnarounds. Fire Chief Nate Thompson will review access and hydrant setbacks. Action was set for November 18.

Land Development Code amendments for flag lots and middle-of-the-block infill, Ordinance 25-20 (public hearing)
Approved · 3-1
The council adopted standards allowing one additional home behind an existing home or a two-lot subdivision with one lot lacking street frontage, a new duplex on multifamily lots with a 20-foot shared driveway, and middle-of-the-block infill capped at six single-family and 20 multifamily units on private access roads. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1 on August 14. No one spoke. Council Member Amy Anderson said the changes address housing needs. Council Member López asked about easement security. Chair Simmonds voted no; she preferred mini-blocks to cul-de-sacs and wanted cul-de-sacs and loops removed from the code, and the minutes record no such amendment. Vice Chair Johnson supported flexibility for infill.
