3 issues in zoning with low priority
Electronic signage rules for institutional zoning districts
The council wants to let churches, schools and similar institutions install slightly bigger electronic signs — 25 square feet instead of 20. Staff will bring back a formal code amendment; questions about flickering imagery and sign maintenance remain for later.
City-owned property zoning true-up near City Hall
The city is aligning zoning and land use on parcels it already owns near the City Hall complex — a paperwork exercise with no development plans. It's mostly housekeeping, but it formally expands the institutional footprint around the complex.
Residential driveway standards update
First-reading approval of a zoning text amendment replacing 'circular driveway' with new primary/secondary driveway definitions, adding setbacks, 18-foot secondary driveway limits, landscape buffers, and a ban on wood driveways — mostly codifying existing practice to stop whole front yards being paved.
