Density bonus ordinance update
Summary
The city is updating its density bonus rules to match state law, adding an extra 10% density bonus in Old Town and transit areas to chase the state's 'pro housing' designation and grant money. Council members noted state law already forces this, so passing it doesn't make things worse.
