Board continues hearing on allowing containerized storage in residential yards to September

Jul 21, 2026

Staff proposed an ordinance to allow one containerized cargo unit as an accessory structure with standards; residents raised concerns about screening, use and durability and the board voted to continue the public hearing to Sept. 15 so staff can tighten setback, screening, SUP and anti-habitation language.

The full story

Staff presented a draft ordinance (26-16) that would permit a single containerized cargo unit as an accessory structure on residential lots provided it meets building-code requirements, permanent foundations, screening or siding, and setback rules. Planning staff said the proposal would not allow stacking and would require a building permit rather than an automatic exemption.
