Council adopts code change allowing updated street-design standards by resolution

Jan 12, 2026

Council adopted ordinance 2026-1 to permit the city to update street design cross-sections via resolution and approved Resolution 179 adopting four cross-section options (ribbon curb/swale and curb-and-gutter with core-sample guidance). The move aims to streamline permitting and allow case-by-case design decisions.

Council approved an ordinance (2026-1) and a companion resolution (179) to modernize street-design rules. The ordinance allows the city engineer, with planning staff, to adopt up-to-date cross-sections by resolution rather than by repeated code amendments; the resolution adopted four cross-section options and authorized core samples to determine the appropriate section.
