From the meeting
The September 23, 2026 agenda included Form-Based Code edits for formal open space. The proposal would require transparency on street-facing elevations and on buildings that abut formal open spaces, and it would add park as a permitted type of formal open space. This is a standards update that can shape future private development layouts and public-realm design.
The item was a proposed ordinance change, not an award.
