Council advances zoning changes to driveway width and garage‑setback rules

Sep 2, 2026

First readings approved to limit the garage‑setback rule to garages on primary facades and to allow administrative approval for expanding driveways beyond 18 feet for lots established before Sept. 5, 2017; staff said the driveway change applies only in the public right‑of‑way.

The full story

Councilors advanced two amendments to the zoning code on first reading: one would apply garage‑setback requirements only when garage doors are on a primary facade; the other would permit administrative review (instead of Board of Zoning Appeals) for requests to expand driveway widths beyond 18 feet at the property line for single‑ and two‑family lots established prior to Sept. 5, 2017.
