    Attached garages zoning text amendment

    Discussed

    Planning staff proposed a citywide update to rules for attached structures such as garages, entrance landings and building foundations to match a 2021 state law (HB1003) that bars cities from regulating design elements including garage door locations, exterior colors, glass and roof materials. The update also clarifies current code. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation.
