Zoning ordinance amendment — dimensional regulations and rear/side yard setbacks

Description

A proposed zoning amendment restoring 15% flexibility on rear and side yard setbacks (pre-2023 rules), with height limits unchanged. It passed first reading 3-0 with one abstention; the final vote comes at a later meeting.

Impact summary

Would let homeowners build slightly larger or closer to lot lines without a variance, which supporters say saves money on improvements and critics warn enables bigger teardown-rebuilds on small lots.
