Council adopts zoning changes to promote small‑lot infill; one councilmember opposes
Summary
Lebanon City Council adopted Ordinance 2025Dash057 updating the zoning code to bring nonperforming lots into compliance and encourage small‑lot infill development; the measure passed with one dissenting vote.
The Lebanon City Council on Tuesday adopted Ordinance 2025Dash057, which updates the city zoning code to bring nonperforming lots into compliance and to promote small‑lot infill development and building renovations within identified areas.
City staff described the ordinance as targeted changes to the city’s small‑lot infill development regulations “to bring non performing lots into compliance by promoting small lot landfill development and building renovations within specific areas,” a staff member said during the ordinance presentation.
The ordinance passed on roll call. Mayor Messer, Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Eggers, Mr. Lamora and Mr. Cope voted in favor. Vice Mayor Norris recorded an opposing vote. The motion to adopt was made, seconded and the roll was called.
Council did not record amendments to the ordinance during the meeting. Staff said the changes are intended to allow more redevelopment of underused parcels through modified small‑lot standards and to encourage reinvestment in existing neighborhoods; further administrative details and maps were presented to council and will be part of the permanent ordinance record.
What’s next: the ordinance was adopted at the meeting; staff will implement code updates per the ordinance language and administrative processes already in place.
