City Commission Work Session #2 Debrief - Zoning Districts

Our second UDC-focused work session with the City Commission last week went well. Here's what we discussed:

• The consolidation of residential zoning districts, consistent with the Community Plan
• The overall approach to consolidating, removing, and changing existing districts in the code
• Height limits in commercial and mixed-use districts
• Zone edge transitions

The City Commission provided the following guidance to the project team:

• Pursue a bold approach to consolidating residential districts, potentially into as few as two districts ("Option A" in the supporting presentation)
• Explore increasing allowable building heights in some commercial districts, potentially in conjunction with new step-back requirements and transitions
• Create transition standards which better ensure the compatibility of adjacent zoning districts
