Council adopts ordinances c‑1122 through c‑1125 to permit conversions across zones and adjust parking rules
Summary
On second reading the council unanimously adopted four ordinances (c‑1122–c‑1125) that change permitted uses in NFR and MFR zones, allow conversions in commercial mixed‑use zones, and adjust off‑street parking requirements to comply with the state conversion law.
The council approved a group of ordinances on second reading to allow conversion of nonresidential buildings to residential uses across several zoning districts and to adjust parking requirements.
Planning staff explained each ordinance in turn: c‑1122 amends AHMC 17.06.030 to permit conversions in the Neighborhood Family Residential (NFR) zone; c‑1123 amends AHMC 17.09.030 to permit conversions in the Multifamily Residential (MFR) zone; c‑1124 amends AHMC 17.10.040 to permit conversions within commercial zones as part of mixed‑use development; and c‑1125 amends AHMC 17.21.020 to adjust the number of required off‑street parking spaces for units created through conversions. Planning staff said the changes are required by the cited state statute and that the Planning Commission recommended them unanimously. Each ordinance was moved and passed unanimously on second reading.
The council made no amendments on the record. Staff indicated the package is intended to conform local regulations to the statute by the end of the month; staff and the Planning Commission documents are in the packet for details on implementation.
