Ordinance 2024-8: prohibit painting or covering exterior brick in more East Central District zones
Approved · 5-2
The ordinance extends the existing ban on painting exterior brick in East Central residential zones to the NC, PI, R-4, R-MFV, R-MFH, C-MU and R-9 zones, with an exemption process; the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend it. Staff said it does not stop repainting already-painted brick or painting cinderblock. Speakers split: some supported it to protect old brick; others asked for grandfathering or case-by-case review. Council Member Blair said he supports preservation but also property rights and would vote no; Council Member Choberka suggested a painting permit instead and wanted more community education. Council Member Hyer noted owners can seek approval to paint or seal unsealed brick.
