From the meeting
The committee discussed increased interest in shipping containers and whether ordinance changes are needed. Members suggested permanent containers should be cosmetically altered to match the primary structure, used only as accessory use, and limited to certain zoning districts. The item remains under discussion and will come back for further evaluation.
This is a pre-RFP code amendment signal with possible design and compliance implications.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
