04 Mar RMF-30 Residential Multi-Family Text Amendments
This is the first of a number of rewrites the city is doing to the various residential zones in our city. The plan is to remove local zoning barriers to housing development such as density limitations and ineffective lot dimensional requirements (Lot width, oversized setbacks, etc.) They are introducing Design Standards, allowing new building forms such as “Cottage developments” and “Side oriented row houses” without special approval. Lot width requirements could be reduced, to utilize some lots that are currently unbuildable, allowing more than one building on a lot, or lots without street frontage. And, to preserve historic homes, a unit bonus could be granted for the retention of an existing structure on a lot.
