Council holds first reading to allow multifamily dwellings in R1 and set parking minimums
Summary
First reading of Ordinance 260 would add multifamily dwellings as a special use in R1 single‑family districts and set parking at a minimum of one space per unit (up to three); planning commissioners and landlords supported the change. Item remains at first reading.
Council heard first reading of Ordinance 260, which would add multifamily dwellings to the list of special uses allowed in R1 single‑family zoning and set a parking standard of one space per unit with an allowance of up to three spaces per unit.
A staff presenter said planning commissioners proposed the change after landlord input that many apartment households (for example single parents with one car) cannot meet a two‑ or three‑space minimum. Council asked questions and took the item as first reading; no final vote occurred at this meeting.
If adopted in later readings, the ordinance would allow multifamily development in R1 subject to special‑use review and the new parking standard.
