Council approves 35-foot cap in building‑height definition for single‑family zones
Summary
The Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2026‑004 amending the definition of building height to state that new development shall not exceed 35 feet as measured from finished grade for rural and single‑family residential zones.
Community Development Director Daniel Cárdenas presented an amendment to the building‑height definition, adding the sentence: "In no case shall a new development exceed thirty‑five feet (35') as measured from the finished grade." The public hearing was opened and closed with no comments, and Council Member LeMone moved to approve Ordinance 2026‑004; the motion passed unanimously with Council Members Rogers, Phillips, and LeMone voting yes.
The amendment clarifies how height is measured for R1‑type zones and establishes a clear 35‑foot maximum for new construction in the affected zones; staff will incorporate the change into code and publish the updated language.
