Planning staff introduced a portfolio home design program that provides city‑approved single‑ and two‑family house plans (≤3,500 sq ft) at no cost to private property owners who choose to use them. To incentivize use, staff proposed UDO amendments to waive the requirement that one of two off‑street parking spaces be covered (garage or carport) for properties that utilize the portfolio plans. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether the property remains privately owned (it does) and whether the program applies to teardown/rebuild lots; staff said it could in appropriate zones. The commission voted 10–0 to authorize staff to publish the proposed code changes for a public hearing and subsequent ordinance review.
