This package of proposed code amendments involves a comprehensive review and overhaul of Title 17 – Land Division. The city has periodically made small amendments to Title 17 but has not done a comprehensive review in many years. The proposed amendments affect nearly every section of Title 17, with the following objectives:
• Ensure that the code accurately reflects current state law;
• Include clear and objective standards;
• Remove redundant or confusing language;
• Clarify and simplify review processes to the benefit of both the applicant and staff; and

The city proposes to adopt revisions to multiple sections of the zoning code to implement the Neighborhood Hubs initiative that came out of the 2020 comprehensive plan.  This package of code amendments are intended to broaden permitted uses and streamline review processes in the Hubs so that more activity can occur.  These amendments include upzoning existing some commercial properties, rezoning key properties where hubs-like activities are already occurring, and expanding the lists of permitted uses.
