Planning staff told the commission that the city has begun a rewrite of its zoning and building regulations, referred to as the "unified building ordinance." The staff presentation said project consultants completed a kickoff workshop in February, staff conducted a citywide tour to review neighborhood issues, and the team will develop outreach materials to solicit public input.
