At Monday’s City Council work session, staff discussed potential updates to the City’s zoning ordinance and code to address new state laws and clarify flag and flagpole regulations.
Two new state laws will require changes: one increases the threshold for zoning protests in certain residential cases and allows approval by a simple majority vote, and another updates the definition of “family,” removing limits on relationships and number of occupants while maintaining existing safety and housing standards.
Staff also reviewed proposed updates to flag regulations, including definitions, limits on flagpoles, and when permits are required. Feedback from the discussion will be used to prepare formal amendments for future consideration.
