From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting the commission discussed extending the zoning ordinance height maximum to encourage larger housing projects. Members reached consensus to have Administrator John Dantzer contact Denise Cline about allowing five stories by right, with extra stories by special use. The item is still in the policy-shaping stage and could affect future multifamily development approvals.
A seller with planning, zoning, or code amendment support would be engaging before any formal ordinance change.
