Flagpole heights amendment (Chapter 17.80)
Approved with conditions · 3-2
The amendment lets all dwellings have flagpoles and non-residential flagpoles up to 80 feet, with the national flag primary. The Planning Commission voted 4-0. Council Member Jared Gray opposed 80-foot poles and preferred 40 to 50 feet; Love opposed taller poles; Council Member Colby Curtis objected to the height allowance for commercial poles. The council dropped corporate flags and the conditional use option for taller poles, limited secondary flags to state and city flags and tied flag size to pole integrity. No one spoke at the hearing.
