Proposed Amendments

The City has committed to continually improving the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) through an annual update process. 

Planning staff submitted proposed amendments for the 2021 IDO Annual Update to the Environmental Planning Commission on October 28, 2021.

Citywide Amendments
Proposed amendments would affect properties citywide and will be considered as a legislative matter.

  • See the list posted here.
  • Download the list as a PDF from a button in the toolbar immediately above the document.
  • Add comments that will be forwarded to the EPC by clicking on the document and filling out the comment box.
  • See the project webpage for videos of the public review meetings about the proposed changes: 2021 Annual Update webpage 

Small Area Amendments – Old Town HPO-5
The proposed amendment would prohibit cannabis uses within the boundary of the Old Town Historic Protection Overlay Zone (HPO-5).

  • Cannabis retail
  • Cannabis cultivation
  • Cannabis-derived products manufacturing

As an amendment only affecting properties in a small area, this change will be decided as a quasi-judicial matter. For quasi-judicial decisions, City Councilors will be acting more like judges than like legislators.

For that reason, discussions with Councilors about this proposed change outside of public hearings is prohibited, and people will be sworn in if they would like to provide comments at the hearings.
