Official title: Council denied amendments to Article VIII of the UDO
Carried unanimously
From the minutes: This motion was seconded by Councilman Kapoor and carried unanimously.
Read the motion as recorded
“Vice-Mayor Wisler moved to deny the proposed wording amendments to Article VIII of the UDO and find that the proposed amendments are inconsistent with the city's comprehensive plan in that, 1) campgrounds, defined as areas for temporary occupancy for recreational use, are not consistent with the vision for Urban Corridors, and 2) Accessory Dwelling Units, which generally accompany low density single family development, are not consistent with the support of commercial development encouraged in the HB zone and therefore, the action to deny is reasonable and in the public interest.”
