The whole point of this exercise was to get kind of the alignment of the comprehensive plan, the long range vision of the community to match with what was actually in ordinance in terms of the implementation of the zoning ordinance.

The proposed ordinance really looks at those different what we call village centers, which again are already in our comprehensive guide plan. it looks at those and establishes standards that reflect those different um places.

Think about an 18,000t lot and if you put a twin home that's 9,000 per lot. So even though you don't have an R2 zoned property anymore, you have a low density, there's opportunity to do more units.

What we are suggesting is that this body would actually have authority to, as you do now, for variances and expansion permits, you will actually then have authority for conditional use permits and expansion permits, which are again a application of the rule. Oh, and interim uh use permits.

I am very much in favor of making local laws understandable to the general public and this is a big step for that. I think it opens possibilities for property owners too. Um there's more opportunity to do things and build things and I particularly like the sustainability design and the points and all of that. I think that's that's that's what Menitaka is about.

I think it's maybe because it's only the 20% of the time that we see that appeal that we're thinking it might be kind of an extra step for people that's not necessary, but I don't know. That's something to think about.

The way people um are engaged nowadays, the the with the remote work um and you know the multi-generational families that we're seeing more of and the the increase in uh ADUs um in the way that office spaces are seem like they're now downsizing more and and more efficient use of space but just don't need as the much space um as before. that this gives, you know, our residents and our businesses a lot of um good options to to adapt to the way people are living and and working today.
