Discussion: Staff is requesting feedback from the Commission prior to drafting Zoning Code Text Amendments for Missing Middle housing types (duplex, triplex, fourplex, and townhomes) as required by HB 2721.
 

For discussion only.

The proposed amendment will be drafted to meet the requirements of HB 2721, which is attached for the Commission’s Review.  The bill requires the City to amend the Zoning Code on or before January 1, 2026, to do the following:

• Allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes as a permitted use on both of the following:
  • All lots zoned for single-family residential use within one mile of the municipality’s central business district, and
  • At least twenty percent of any new development of more than ten contiguous acres.
