Direct staff to create law regulating permanent encroachments by property owners
In Plain English
Some property owners install fences, gardens, or other improvements that extend onto city property like sidewalks or streets. The city currently has no clear rules about these encroachments. If approved, staff creates a new law defining what improvements are allowed and how property owners can get permission.
