Public hearing: sporting ramps (Title 13 temporary zoning)
Continued
The issue began with a resident's backyard ramp that violated city code, and a 180-day moratorium began in November 2020. The Planning Commission recommended striking the sporting ramp restriction, tying ramp use to swimming pool operating hours under the noise ordinance and adding a new accessory structure definition, with structures 18 inches or taller meeting the underlying zone requirements. The hearing closed with no vote; the item returns May 20.
