Adjournment Page 1 of 3 ## Item Report June 16, 2026 ## City Council ## Item Number: 3.1 Department: Community Development ## Item Activity: Discussion Prepared By: Addison Lewis, Community Development ## Coordinator Item Title: Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Update: Residential Districts and Uses ## Action Requested: Discussion only. ## Information/Background: This work session will continue discussion on the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Update. In the Board Portal is a draft of module 1 of the zoning ordinance, which contains the chapter introduction, district regulations, uses and use standards. Councilmembers are not expected to review the entire draft before the meeting. The focus of this meeting will be on the residential zoning districts and uses. Consultants from ZoneCo will be in attendance virtually and will present the proposed changes. A summary of the proposed changes is included as a memo in the Board Portal. The consultants have also created an online storymap for the public to follow along. ## Resources/Financial Impacts: It is intended that the update will improve clarity, eliminate contradictions and make it easier to administer and find information in the code. This will reduce the amount of time that planning and legal staff spend on unnecessary code issues in the future. It will also reduce the amount of money property owners spend on land use applications. ## Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: Updating the City's development regulations will help to achieve the desired development outcomes and goals of the Comprehensive Plan and small area plans. The update will provide a more user-friendly code that is clear, well-organized, and easier to understand. ## Reliable Service ## Livable City Values Impact:The Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Update will reflect the City's values in the following ways: ## Engagement The City has undertaken extensive community engagement as part of the Comprehensive Plan and small area plans to gather feedback Page 2 of 3 about land use and what future development should look like. Updating the development regulations accordingly is essential for implementing those plans. ## Equity Land use regulations have implications for equity. For example, they can impact the cost of housing and peoples' ability to get around without a car. Code revisions will be analyzed in terms of their impact on equity. ## Health How land is used and the way it is developed has implications for the health of the community. For example, it can impact the amount of green space and peoples' ability to bike and walk to places. Code revisions will be analyzed in terms of their impact on health. ## Stewardship It is intended that the update will improve clarity, eliminate contradictions and make it easier to find information within the code. This will reduce the amount of time that planning and legal staff spend on unnecessary code issues in the future. It will also reduce the amount of money property owners spend on unnecessary land use applications. ## Sustainability How land is used and developed has implications for the city's ecological footprint. For example, the Climate Action Plan has goals by 2030 to reduce vehicle miles traveled by 7%, double public transit ridership from 3.3% to 6.6%, and increase average population per developed acre by 4%. Achieving these goals will be influenced by the City's land use regulations. Better aligning land use regulations with the Comprehensive Plan and small area plans will assist the City in meeting these goals. ## Supporting Documentation: Documents marked with "Board Portal" do not meet ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (URL) and are not included in the public packet.
