Commission cleans up RO suburban-residential rules to reflect large-lot intent
Summary
The commission recommended edits to the RO (suburban residential) zoning category to remove agricultural uses from RO, clarify accessory-structure rules and minimum lot widths, and better reflect large-lot single-family intent; staff said the changes will go to city council.
Planning staff presented a package of edits designed to clarify the RO (suburban residential) zoning category so it better reflects large-lot single-family intent. Staff explained the edits remove agricultural uses from RO, add clearer accessory-structure limits and set minimum lot widths appropriate for larger lots.
The presentation explained that RO remains permissive for institutional uses such as churches and schools but will be reworded to focus on large-lot residential intent. Staff confirmed the commission's action is a recommendation to city council; commissioners noted public commenters can take concerns to council after the commission's recommendation.
