Zoning text amendments for independent living facility density

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on City-initiated text amendments to the density and use rules for independent living facilities in the retail and office district. On August 24, 2021 it voted carried to continue the hearing, and on October 26, 2021 it voted to recommend amendments as modified by the Commission, including renaming the use age-restricted senior housing, setting a lot-area-per-unit density, raising the minimum age, and adding guest parking. The vote was 7–0. The City Council's own action is not part of this record.
