Commission backs zoning-code updates including multifamily in C-1 and revised setback rules
The commission voted to recommend amendments to Chapter 1.12 that add multifamily uses to certain commercial zones (as conditional uses), revise setback calculations to relate to wall/eave heights, and tighten sewer-connection review rules for parcels near city sewer lines; public commenters raised questions about density and sewer hook-up triggers.
The full story
Jefferson County staff returned a redlined draft of AM26-0001 to the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 20, proposing several substantive edits to Chapter 1.12 of the county code. Key changes include making multifamily housing a conditional use in C-1 (with conditions), revising minimum property-line setbacks so they are based on wall/eave heights (rather than a fixed 14-foot rule), and adding a requirement that applicants within a defined distance of city sewer prepare a feasibility study for connection.
