The proposal also establishes a new Middle Housing (MH) District in zoning standards to allow for greater density than permitted in the RM-1 and RM-2 Districts, and awards density bonuses for approved affordable housing developments. Some limited low-intensity commercial uses would, under very specific circumstances, be allowed in residential districts. The Planning Commission approved a positive recommendation to City Council on the proposed text amendment at their April 13, 2026 meeting.
