The City Council initiated a proposal to amend the LUO, Relating to the Development Standards for the Apartment and Apartment Mixed-Use Districts.
Resolution No. 25-105, Relating to the Development Standards for the Apartment and Apartment Mixed-Use Districts amends the LUO by reducing the minimum lot area, reducing the minimum lot dimensions, simplifying the regulations relating to maximum floor area ratio (FAR), increasing the maximum FAR, and making other technical and minor changes to the Apartment and Apartment Mixed-Use District Development Standards found in Table 2 1-3.3.
