Agenda Review Workshop - Jun 29, 2026
Owners of small lots in the annexed RS-5 zone currently can't legally expand their homes because the minimum lot size doesn't fit. The proposed fix lowers the minimum lot area to 6,500 square feet and lot width to 65 feet, opening the door for those homeowners — with drainage and 40% lot coverage rules untouched.
