Approved with conditions · 6-1
The Council adopted Ordinance 68 of 2022 amending the RMF-30 district to remove barriers to multi-family housing: design standards, new building types (sideways row houses, cottage developments, tiny houses), smaller minimum lot areas per unit, no minimum lot width, more than one primary structure per lot, a density bonus for keeping an existing structure and a maximum lot width to discourage land banking (Petition PLNPCM2019-00313). Council Member Mano moved the original ordinance; Council Member Puy offered a substitute motion adding a 180-day wait before publication, saying other ordinances in the works could be affected and the delay would let staff work through them. Council Member Fowler voted no, saying the other measures were displacement-mitigation policies and she did not feel public concerns had been addressed, though she appreciated a compromise. Council Member Valdemoros said the related measures were the Thriving in Place and Housing Loss Mitigation plans.
