Modify zoning rules to clarify what can be built in buffer zones
In Plain English
The city's current zoning rules don't clearly specify what types of buildings and businesses can operate in buffer zones between different neighborhoods. Staff will draft new language to remove confusion for developers and residents. If approved, property owners will have clearer guidelines about what they can build in these transition areas.
