Council updates development code, parking requirements in Ordinance 1149
Summary
Ordinance 1149 reorganizes and modernizes development regulations across multiple municipal code titles, updates parking standards (including guidance for co-living sleeping rooms) and implements a comprehensive concurrency review to align utilities and transportation with growth.
The council passed Ordinance 1149, a housekeeping and modernization update to multiple sections of the municipal code covering parking, concurrency, private streets, planned unit developments and commute-trip reduction. Staff said the ordinance consolidates and reorganizes regulations to improve clarity and better align with the comprehensive plan and state growth-management requirements.
Among the changes, the ordinance updates parking standards for certain housing types; staff and council discussed a provision that limits parking requirements for co-living sleeping rooms to no more than 0.25 spaces per sleeping room. Sam said the ordinance modernizes parking rules to support bicycle parking and walkable development in the central business district. The council moved and adopted the ordinance by unanimous vote among members present.
