City staff proposed a zoning text amendment that would let a second-story addition follow the footprint of a house with a legal nonconforming setback, so such additions would be reviewed by staff instead of needing variances. At the hearing on June 28, 2022 the Planning and Zoning Commission continued the case (6–0). At the continued hearing on July 12, 2022 the draft minutes record that a motion to recommend the amendment was denied; that vote is not captured as a verified claim in this record. The sources are draft minutes.

Documented status: Public hearing (recorded in draft minutes), Jul 12 2022. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.
