ApprovedGeneral Plan Amendment

Mixed Use Overlay District (MUOD) and Residential Overlay District (ROD) Code Amendments

Description

The council adopted an urgency ordinance tightening overlay district rules — new development must allow 100% residential use and mixed-use projects must be at least 50% residential — and started the regular amendment process with Planning Commission review, returning in April or May.

Impact summary

Any new project or expansion in these commercial and institutional overlay zones must now include substantial housing — no more commercial-only buildings.
