BACKGROUND
On January 11, 2022, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing to consider Master Case 21- 224 for a Unified Development Code Amendment to create a two-unit residential development and urban lot split ordinance, for the purposes of implementing Senate Bill 9 and providing the City with the maximum local control over two-unit residential developments consistent with state law.
