Commission reviews land‑use table changes to allow small multifamily and condominiums outright in some districts
Summary
Staff proposed amendments to the land‑uses‑allowed table to permit 3–5 unit multifamily dwellings and condominiums outright in specified districts, add conditions (landscaping, ADA‑compliant parking, barrier‑resistant cart enclosures) and keep townhomes in a separate, more detailed section.
Staff summarized proposed edits to the land use table that would allow certain small multifamily dwellings and condominiums outright in targeted zoning districts, subject to specified conditions. "We've added a section now that has requirements for multifamily dwellings and condominiums as defined in the set title 15 are allowed in accordance with the land uses allowed table, subject to the following," the staff member explained.
Staff listed typical conditions currently attached to CUP approvals for multifamily developments that would be codified for outright permits (examples discussed include completion of landscaping within one year of occupancy certificate, provision of barrier‑resistant cart storage, and ADA‑compliant parking). Commissioners asked why larger condominium projects (six or more units) and certain uses in resource management would still require a CUP; staff explained resource‑management areas can be difficult to develop and warrant added review. Commissioner (S3) pressed for clarity about which version of the land‑use table is current; staff confirmed the packet reflects updates for dwelling units and that marijuana land use remains pending.
