Midland adopts code change shifting more perimeter arterial costs to residential developers
Council amended the development code to move the default residential developer share for perimeter arterial costs from one‑third to one‑half, creating a proportionality and appeal process for smaller projects; council approved the ordinance unanimously after extended debate about fairness and impacts on local builders.
