Council, commission to take comments on land code changes

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 by Jo Clifton

City Council and the Planning Commission will host a joint meeting at 2 p.m. today to hear public comment on a proposal to allow larger homes on lots where there is already existing housing. According to the posting, if adopted the proposal would “increase the maximum square footage limits of two new housing units when the property owner preserves the existing housing unit.” Although the proposal allows for larger units, it does not allow for increased impervious cover. After a staff presentation, Council will allow two minutes for each speaker. The Planning Commission is expected to take action on April 8 and Council will consider the proposal on April 24, according to Mayor Kirk Watson’s posting on the City Council Message Board.
