Commissioners split on lot‑coverage and density limits; staff to show graphics

Aug 26, 2026

The group revisited earlier discussion about whether multiunit lot coverage should be 50% or 75% and whether coverage rules should differ for new subdivisions versus existing lots. Staff will return with visuals and sample scenarios.

The full story

Commissioners returned to a prior conversation about maximum lot coverage for multiunit developments. Some members recalled agreeing to a 75% coverage figure for multiunit projects at an earlier meeting; others read the current draft as retaining 50% for certain zones. Participants asked staff to prepare graphics illustrating how 50% versus 75% coverage would affect typical infill and new‑subdivision parcels.
