Allow gas stations in medium-density residential zones with special approval
In Plain English
The city currently prohibits gas stations in MFR-1 and MFR-2 zones, which allow apartments and condos. This change lets property owners apply for special permits to build gas stations in these areas. If approved, the Planning Commission reviews each proposal to ensure it fits the neighborhood.
