Draft code would allow mixed‑use in B/C district and require principal building before accessory uses

Apr 30, 2026

The proposed zoning amendments add mixed‑use allowances to the B/C General Business district (Section 18.75.025) and add a requirement that a principal building or use be established before any accessory building or use (Section 18.100.135). The hearing officer recommended council consideration.

The full story

The packet adds a new Section 18.75.025 to permit mixed uses — residential with nonresidential commercial uses — in the B/C General Business District, and a new supplemental regulation (Section 18.100.135) that would bar accessory buildings, accessory dwelling units, accessory uses or conditional uses on a lot until the principal building or use has been established unless both are being created simultaneously.
