    Historic carriage house text amendment

    Discussed

    Planning staff and applicants the applicant and Kurt Huffaker presented a proposal to amend section 21A.34.020 to allow reconstruction of a historic carriage house as a dwelling unit. The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation, so no ordinance had been drafted. Council Members asked why carriage houses in historic districts cannot become accessory dwelling units and how the draft language would apply to the applicants' proposal.
