Goddard adopts resolution proposing restrictions for rezoned duplex developments
Summary
Council advanced a resolution to apply design standards and restrictions to new rezoning applications for duplex and small multi‑family developments on greenfield sites, allowing case‑by‑case waivers.
Staff presented a draft resolution (item I‑5) that would allow the council to impose design standards and restrictions on rezoning applications for duplexes and similar small multi‑family developments on greenfield sites. Staff said the resolution excludes existing entitlements and permits waivers where standards are impractical.
Council discussed appropriate ratio targets for duplexes versus single‑family housing and emphasized design quality and livability—parks, pools and playgrounds were cited as desirable amenities. One councilor noted they had adjusted language to avoid redundancy with an upcoming code amendment on sound separation. The council voted to approve the resolution directing recommended restricted zoning provisions during rezoning consideration.
