Summary of the Legislation:

Background: On December 13, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 123495.  This ordinance establishes new development standards for lowrise zones, a new administrative design review process for townhouse development, and other standards that apply in various zoning designations.  In preparing to administer the legislation, DPD staff has discovered the need for corrections and clarifications that would facilitate use of the new provisions, in keeping with Council’s intent. Most of the amendments are minor technical changes (e.g. correcting outdated formatting and subsection references). The proposed ordinance also contains amendments that are clarifications to provisions or corrections of errors or omissions.
